Winter Heating Tips

CHANGE YOUR FILTER – It is important to replace or clean furnace filters once a month. Dirty filters restrict air flow and increases energy demand.

FANS – Run your ceiling fans in reverse to push the warm our down into the room

US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY – According to the US Department of Energy, a home with central heating can lose up to 60% of its heated air before that air reaches the vents of the duct work if not well connected and insulated, or if it must travel through unheated spaces. That’s a huge amount of wasted money, not to mention a chilly house.

GET YOUR DUCTS IN A ROW – Ducts are always easy to see, but you can often find them exposed in the attic, the basement and crawlspaces. Repair places where pipes are pinched, which impedes flow of heated air to the house, and fix gaps with a metal backed tape.
