Any opening to the outside in your home costs you money when heat is allowed to escape through it. No brainer, right? Consider the exhaust fan in your bathroom. It is vented to the outside and when you leave it on longer than necessary it will draw the heat from your home even if your bath door is closed. If you tend to leave the fan on for extended periods of time, install a timer in place of the fan switch.
Fireplaces are so warm and cozy, but after the fire goes out, the warm air from your heating system goes right up the chimney if you don't close the damper on the flue.
Even the vent hood above your range will take the warm air from your house just as fast as it removes cooking odors and steam. Minimize its use.
More to come...
