    Ways to Save Money on Heating

    Replacing an existing thermostat with a programmable thermostat can save up to 15% of your heating cost.

    If you have any pets or have had recent work to your house, the dust or pet hairs are the leading causes of filter clogging. Clogged filters can reduce blower motor life and the system will run for longer periods of time and be less efficient, which causes you to use more gas and electricity to heat your house.

    Replace hot air filters every 6-8 months.
