Heating and Cooling Tips
Set your thermostat as low as is comfortable in

Clean or replace filters on furnaces once a month or as needed.
Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as needed; make sure
they're not blocked by furniture, carpeting, or drapes.
Bleed trapped air from hot-water radiators once or twice a season; if in doubt
about how to perform this task, call a professional.
Place heat-resistant radiator reflectors between exterior walls and the
radiators.

well-intentioned efforts to heat our cold, wintry space often make the problem
even worse by removing any moisture remaining in the air. This causes
nosebleeds, cough, sore throat, and more.
