Smart Heating – How To Save Energy?

Several tips for saving energy efficiently heating your home:
  • Set your thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter and as high as is comfortable in the summer.
  • You save 3 percent on the day’s heating or cooling costs by setting your thermostat back one degree (higher for cooling, lower for heating) for that 24-hour period.    
  • Use kitchen, bath, and other ventilating fans wisely. In just one hour, these fans can pull out a houseful of warmed or cooled air. Turn fans off as soon as they have done the job.
  • Bleed trapped air from hot-water radiators once or twice a season. If in doubt about how to perform this task, call a professional.
  • Clean air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as needed. Make sure they’re not blocked by furniture, carpeting, or curtains.
  • Make sure curtains don’t block registers and air returns.
  • Install individual room controls to heat and cool rooms only when you use them.
  • Leaving heating or cooling running when no-one is home generates more greenhouse gas and costs more money. Timer controls can switch equipment on when it’s needed.
  • Have your heating and cooling systems serviced once a year to ensure peak operational efficiency.
