Winter heating for your home can be as expensive as it is urgent and crucial for the well-being of you and your family. These simple, but highly-effective, life hacks will keep your home heating infrastructure working better, your heating bill more affordable, and your house more comfortable and energy-efficient through the long winter season.

How to Improve Your Home Heating System

1. Replace the Filters on Your Furnace

This straightforward step will save you money by making your furnace more efficient. It’s recommended that during the winter season, you replace your furnace filter at least once a month. It’s a simple step, but a great way to start taking the matter of improving your home heating into your own hands.

2. Install a Programmable Thermostat

HeatingInstalling a thermostat is a clever way to manage your household energy use, room-by-room, down to the minute. Design a program that suits your habits and needs, bringing the heat down when you’re out of the house, or asleep, or in rooms that you rarely use. Watch your heating bill drop significantly, and get the added bonus of knowing you are using energy responsibly.

3. Cover Electrical Outlets

A great deal of cold air seeps in through these many portals into the rooms of your house. Plastic plugs are very inexpensive and can be purchased at a hardware store. For more thorough insulation, buy gaskets with fire-resistant foam to fit over the entire outlet. These are also very inexpensive and can be found at a local hardware store. This seemingly small step will improve the energy efficiency of your home and make heating it feel that much more effortless.
