Maintain the comfort in your home during the winter heating season through proper humidification. Moisture retains heat, so a moist room will feel warmer. Clean or replace your furnace filters regularly. Dirty filters make your system work hard. Close the damper on your fireplace when it's not in use.
Fireplaces can create drafts and draw valuable heat up the flue.
Check the seals around your windows and doors and apply the necessary caulking to prevent energy loss. Apply weather stripping to all exterior doors, prevent drafts and energy loss. Prevention can make a difference. Have your system checked by a heating and cooling specialist at least once per season. Copyright 2000 by Channel Cincinnati .
