Do you feel the pinch of inflation and want more economic heating options during the cold months? Truly efficient heating systems may involve new construction or a home overhaul. But small changes can accrue big savings. Here are some economic heating tips for winter homes.

  • Many home heating options, such as transitions to natural gas or installing heat pumps, pay off more in the long run. But they can be too expensive for savings this season.
  • Before undertaking a whole-home overhaul, measure your energy costs. An energy audit can also identify hazards such as carbon monoxide.
  • Insulating pipes and heating ducts can prevent loss of heat from your hot water or furnace.
  • Building an inexpensive solar air heater, and placing it beside the sunniest windows of your home, can provide passive heat.
