Top 5 Ways to Save on Heating Bills
As home heating costs go up, so do the number of people looking to find ways to cut down on their heating bills. If you are one of the millions of people worried about rising heat bills, there are a number of easy ways to cut down on your home heating bills.
1. Clean Your Furnace: Maintaining an energy efficient furnace is a key component to reducing heating bills. A furnace that works too hard will cause an increase in your heating bill. Getting a professional to clean dirt, oil, and other debris from the furnace as well as the air ducts will make your furnace run more efficiently thereby reducing how hard it works. As well, replace a dirty furnace air filter. A dirty air filter prevents air from traveling throughout the home which causes the furnace to work harder to heat the home.
2. Maintain a Constant Temperature: Setting your thermostat at a specific temperature will ensure the furnace is not constantly running. Constantly changing the temperature raises your heating costs, lower the temperature by a degree or two at night and wear warm clothing. As well, cracks and holes that cause air from the outside to blow in will cause the furnace to run. It is essential to properly seal air leaks throughout the home. Check for cracks around fireplace. If there are cracks, seal them with caulking.
3. Turn on Ceiling fans: If you have ceiling fans, you should turn them on because heat rises so the fans will help circulate the warm air throughout the room. A ceiling fan set in reverse can disperse warm air through your home. As well, close the vents in rooms that are rarely used so you are not wasting heat. Keeping the warm air in rooms that you use will help reduce heating costs.
4. Make Minor Furnishing Modifications: During the day, open window shades and curtains to allow the sun rays to come in. Weather-strip doors, windows, and attic and basement doors, to prevent heat from escaping and cold air from coming in. Seal gaps around wires and pipes. Apply caulking to baseboards to prevent heat from escaping. Wrap heating ducts with duct tape and insulation around pipes. Insulate floors over unheated spaces such as the garage, attic, and basement. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. When not using an item such as an appliance, lights, and the television, turn them off. When you leave the home for a certain period, turn the heat down and make sure everything else is turned off. Make sure the furniture is not blocking any heat vents and preventing heat from being distributed throughout the room.
5. Make Machines More Efficient: Run full loads in the dishwasher and clothing washer and dryer. Acquire insulation wrap to insulate your water heater. When you are ready to replace a machine, purchase an energy efficient one. As well, use a programmable thermostat that can be programmed to decrease the heat when one is sleeping or away from the home for an extended period of time.
During these trouble economic times, most people are looking for ways to tighten their budget. By implementing a number of heat saving measures, one can significantly cut down on their heating bills.
