Heating your home
During times of colder temperatures, your heater works harder to maintain the temperature you want. Use it as much as you need to stay comfortable, but remember to lower the temperature when sleeping or away from home. Also, have your heating system serviced every year.
If you have baseboard, ceiling or wall heaters, consider turning off the heat to unused rooms (just watch out for mold).
