1. Have furnace tuned up annually by Thermal Tech Heating & Air Conditioning Ohio.
Why? Having your furnace cleaned and tuned annually helps the heating system operate safely and efficiently. Tuning may involve resetting the fuel-air mixture for proper combustion as well as cleaning of the blower and burners to assure maximum airflow and complete combustion.
2. Let sunshine in south windows.
How? Open drapes on the south side of your home during winter days and close them at night. Sun angles are low in winter, allowing substantial solar heating through all south windows. You may want to trim vegetation that shades south windows.
3. Change furnace filter monthly.

4. Set back thermostat at night and when you leave home.
What is the benefit? Setting the thermostat back 10 degrees at night or when the house will be unoccupied can save up to 15% on heating costs. The furnace will have to run more to reheat the house, but the energy saved while the home is cooler more than offsets the extra run time to reheat the home.
5. Reduce thermostat setting to 68 degrees.
Won't I be cold? educing your thermostat setting can substantially lower your heating costs. Putting on those extra layers will help you stay comfortable while saving on your heating bill.
