Whether you're a homeowner looking to save or a small business owner looking to reduce costs, it's a good idea to take a look at your heating expenses. In some cases, these expenses can be quite significant, but there are steps you can take to keep them in check. The experts at Bernie Buchner, a leading commercial HVAC repair company in the La Crosse, WI, area, offer this advice:

• On Sunny Days, Open The Blinds Or Pull The Curtains Back: It's natural to want to keep the blinds closed during the winter, but if it's sunny outside, you can save money by opening the blinds and letting some rays in. The sunlight will help to warm the room, which will save you money on heating costs.
• Regularly Change The Air Filters On Your Furnace: Changing the air filters on your furnace can help it function more efficiently, which can result in a lower energy bill. It's recommended that you change your filters at least once every three months. More frequent filter changes are recommended if you have a larger home or office.
• Replace Worn Weatherstripping: Weatherstripping doors and windows is an easy way to seal in heat. But when was the last time you checked your doors and windows? The HVAC service company recommends sealing up any leaks with caulk and weatherstrips. Replacement is as easy as pealing off the old and sticking on a new strip.
