At Westinghouse, we are always interested in ways we can save energy in our everyday lives. We came across this article from Progress-Energy.com on "100 ways to save energy at home." Below are their tips for saving energy on heating.

- **Cover all bare floors**. Carpeting or rugs add to comfort and heat retention, especially if there is little or no floor insulation.
- **Raise the temperature slowly** to keep your bill lower. Quickly raising your heat pump's temperature activates the heat strip, which uses tons of energy.
- **Set your thermostat to 68-70 degrees** during the day in the winter, and 65-68 degrees at night to keep your home comfortable and save on heating costs.
- **Close the flue in your fireplace** and install glass doors to keep in the warm air.
- **Limit your use of portable heaters.** They’re great for "spot" heating, but running a 1,500-watt heater 24/7 can be expensive.
- **Keep your thermostat close** **to the outside temperature** – it’s cheaper to keep your home at 70°F when it’s 50°F outside than when it’s 30°F.
- **Don’t block air vents** with drapes and furniture.
- **Get an energy-efficient heat pump** and you could cut your heating costs in half.
- **Change the filters** in your heating system every month for optimum efficiency.
- **Give your air compressor space** to work efficiently. Never stack anything against your HVAC or drape anything over it.
- **Set your thermostat to 60 degrees** if going on vacation during the winter months, but don’t turn it off.
- **Heat your home with the sun's help.** Leave window shades or blinds open during the daytime. And consider using solar heat to supplement your normal heating source.
- **Lower your thermostat** every time you leave the house.
