How to Cut Your Heating Bills
by as Much as 50%
With energy prices skyrocketing, what can you do to significantly cut the cost of heating your home?
Here are some options for helping reduce your monthly heating bills:
- If your furnace is over 15-20 years old, a new high-efficiency furnace can dramatically reduce the cost of heating your home by 20% - 40%.
- If your family can't agree on a comfortable temperature, or if you'd just as soon close off rooms you're not using to save on heating, a zoned system can help you save both energy and money.
- Did you know you can extract heat from chilly outside air to heat your house? This is the magical power of a heat pump that uses refrigeration technology rather than fuel combustion. Some homeowners have lowered their heating and cooling costs by as much as 50% by installing a heat pump.
Other ways to save include checking your furnace filter monthly, replacing disposable filters periodically throughout winter, and installing a programmable thermostat then setting it back 10 degrees while sleeping at night and when the house is unoccupied. Also check it periodically to make sure it's working properly.
