START HERE: Top Heating Actions

• program your thermostat so minimize heat usage when you’re not home while still maintaining a comfortable temperature when you are

  inexpensive programmable thermostats, and “smart” thermostats at a steep discount, are available through Mass Save as well as local hardware stores

• wear an extra layer and keep your home cooler

• seal drafty doors and windows

• close your storms

• schedule an Energy Audit from Mass Save (or ask your landlord to have one)

• convert to the most efficient heating method you can (ideally a whole house ground- or air-source heat pump system)

  there are many state and federal rebates for efficient systems
