It is the shivering time again! Come winter, and everyone’s seriously thinking about renovating their homes and keeping them warm. But the cost of house heating sends shivers down the owner’s spine.

Here are some tips that will help to cut down energy costs:

1. Set the comfortable lowest: Experts recommend you to set your thermostat at 68 degrees or below for maximum energy savings. Though this is low, it really keeps the thermostat going.
2. Keep steady temperature: Everytime the temperature decreases, we have the habit of increasing the thermostat temperature. This generally might spoil the thermostat. So keep your thermostat at steady temperatures, until of course your limits are tested.

3. Heat your room, not the furniture: Curtain drapes, furniture or anything between you and your drapes radiators will cost you more. Furniture placement plays an important role in heating your room as much as shrub free airflow to your heat pump.

4. Enjoy Sunny days: Open your home to embrace sun rays on sunny days. This will give your walls, and home the much needed natural sun.

5. Heat & Ventilate Carefully: Most people have the habit of leaving all their ventilator fans running all the time. Use them discretely. Also switch off heaters in unnecessary areas of the home.

With all these tips there is one more important thing - Keep Checking for leaks or clogs on a regular basis.
