Many Newport News homeowners ask, "What can I do to
reduce my heating bill?" Others have called us in the middle of
winter complaining, "my house is drafty and cold - I just can't get
it warm enough".
There are actually many things you can do to help improve your
comfort, and save money on your heating bill this winter.
Make sure the damper on your fireplace is closed when not in use.
Also, check your furnace filter often. You may find that you need to
change your furnace filter more often in the winter.
Try rearranging your furniture! Heating systems that are
"forced-air" send hot air through the house via vents in the floor
and draw back in air through returns. Make sure all the vents and
returns are unobstructed so that air can flow smoothly. Common items
that block vents & returns are bookcases, beds, bureaus, drapes, and
sofas. Moving furniture and household items away from vents &
returns will help your furnace breath!
