Heating and Energy Saving Tips Insulate windows: To keep the heat in the house, cover windows with curtains, blinds, drapes, shades or other window coverings, as well as, seal windows and doors with draft-reducing caulk and weather stripping.
Install a programmable thermostat: Program the thermostat to automatically heat the house in the morning and evening while cooling it during the day. Homeowners can save about 2% on heating bills per every degree the thermostat is turned down.
Change furnace filters: Clean or replace furnace filters in heating systems every month or two. Changing the filter in a furnace can save as much as 5% on heating bills. Clear the heating elements: Move furniture, carpeting and window coverings away from heating vents, warm air registers, baseboard heaters and radiators. This will allow the furnace to heat the house more efficiently. Buy a new furnace: Replace older furnaces with more energy-efficient models. Buying a new furnace will yield a savings of 20% to 30%.
