The professionals at Andersen Oil Company also know the importance of saving money, so they have tips on what you can do to make your home heating costs friendlier on your wallet:

• Home Heating System Maintenance: Keeping your system regularly maintained helps it stay in peak condition and burn fuel efficiently. Scheduled maintenance checks also help catch small problems before they result in costly repairs. Consider upgrading your heating system if it is more than 20 years old. A newer model can lower your costs by up to 25%.

• Lower Your Thermostat: Turn down the heat on your thermostat when you are sleeping or when no one is home. Andersen Oil Company recommends installing a programmable thermostat that will lower and raise the temperature at times chosen by you.

• Keep The Heat In: The experts at Andersen Oil Company know that homeowners may forget about areas where heat can escape. Cover exposed pipes with insulation to prevent heat loss, install storm windows or use an insulator window kit, and remove or cover air conditioning units that are not being used. Don’t forget to check to make sure your walls and ceilings also have sufficient insulation.
• Help Your Heating System: Keep your curtains open on sunny days to let the heat of the sun warm your home and close them at night. Andersen Oil Company also advises keeping your furniture away from radiators and heating vents since it will keep the warm air from circulating.
