1. Seal Air Leaks – Drafts around windows and doors let warm air escape. Use weather stripping or caulking to seal gaps.

2. Schedule Regular Maintenance – A well-maintained furnace runs more efficiently. Replace filters and schedule an annual HVAC checkup.

3. Use a Programmable Thermostat – Set your thermostat to lower temperatures when you’re away or asleep to save on energy costs.

4. Optimize Airflow – Keep vents clear of furniture and debris to ensure heat circulates properly throughout your home.

5. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Systems – If your heating system is outdated, upgrading to an ENERGY STAR®-rated furnace can cut costs in the long run.
