• Schedule routine heating maintenance. If you’ve read this blog before, this bit of advice won’t come as a surprise. Allowing a trained professional to tune up your heating system is, without a doubt, the best way for you to keep your heater working in an efficient manner.
• Keep your air filter clean. Annual maintenance is a must, but putting a new air filter in your furnace or heat pump system just once a year isn’t enough. Dirty filters increase airflow resistance and can lead to other problems. If you use a forced air heating system, a consistently new and clean air filter is a valuable ally.
• Upgrade your thermostat. While small in stature, your thermostat plays a huge role in the performance of your heating system. Upgrading your thermostat to a programmable or smart model can help you to take greater control over the way you use energy when heating your home.
