-
Clean or replace your filter every 2 - 3 months to help your furnace breathe easier and work effectively. A dirty filter reduces the airflow and forces the furnace to run longer to heat your home.
-
Keep your furnace clean, lubricated and properly adjusted with annual maintenance. If your furnace is working at peak efficiency it will use less energy and cost less to operate.
-
Check air vents regularly to ensure nothing is preventing the air from circulating freely.
-
Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as needed; make sure they're not blocked by furniture or drapes.
-
Consider purchasing a programmable thermostat to raise and lower the temperature at pre-set times. Lower your thermostat by 4 - 5 degrees Celsius while you're sleeping at night and when no one is at home.
-
Don't heat areas of your house you don't use regularly, such as guest rooms. Close heating vents or turn back thermostats in those areas and close the doors for a painless reduction in heating costs.
-
On sunny days, open south facing drapes and let the sun in, a natural source of heat. If you have large windows that do not receive direct sun, keep the drapes closed. Close your drapes & blinds during the night.
-
Change the batteries on your Thermostat. If your thermostat is not working the furnace will not come on.
-
Don't forget to change the batteries in your Carbon Monoxide Detector. It could save your life!
