thermostat is a control that is common to virtually every heating system. A thermostat senses the room temperature and turns the heat on when the temperature drops below the set point. The simplest thing you can do to save energy is to turn down the thermostat. Depending on the climate, you can save about 10 percent if you keep the house cooler by 3\\u00b0F to 5\\u00b0F.\\n\\nTurning down a thermostat saves energy, but only if you\\u2019re consistent. If one person is always turning it down, and another is always turning it back up, the person who turns it up may set the thermostat even higher to compensate for feeling chilly\\u2014and use more energy. This \\u201cdueling manager\\u201d syndrome is particularly wasteful if you have a heat pump. Find the lowest setting that everyone in the family is consistently comfortable with, and then leave it alone (other than for regular setbacks).\\n\\nAnother way to save energy with your thermostat is by using a regular setback. Turning down the house temperature for 6 to 8 hours while everyone is asleep, or away during the day, can save a lot\\u2014about 10 percent for an 8-hour, 10\\u00b0F setback. Contrary to popular belief, it does not take more energy to bring the house back up to temperature. Remember, the heating system replaces heat that the house loses; if the indoor temperature is lower for a period of time, the house simply loses less heat during that time. But don\\u2019t overcompensate by setting the thermostat higher when you return; a setting of 78\\u00b0F does not warm the house up any faster than a setting of 70\\u00b0F.\\n\\nOne problem with turning down the thermostat while you\\u2019re away (or asleep) is that the house is cold when you return home (or get up). If you have a fairly regular schedule, an automatic thermostat can help. Set it to turn down the heat when you leave and turn it back up just before you get home; down at bedtime, up before you get up. Once it\\u2019s set, you don\\u2019t have to do anything. Most automatic thermostats can handle at least two setback periods during the day, and separate programs for weekends or all seven days.\\n\\n\\nThe Nest Learning Thermostat\\u2122 is a new twist on the old thermostat. It learns from your behavior to create automatic setbacks and bring the house back to temperature when you need it. A motion sensor knows if you come home early, and a wireless network interface allows remote control from a computer or smartphone, as well as access to local weather data. Other brands to consider are the Honeywell Lyric\\u2122 or the ecobee\\u2122. \\n\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":14},\"typography_font_size_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":14},\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24},\"typography_line_height_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"3f70\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":[],\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"70b\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"58f0b0c\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"color\":\"#7a7a7a\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"divider\"},{\"id\":\"3288\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"title\":\"Pipe Insulation \",\"header_size\":\"h1\",\"title_color\":\"#217094\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24},\"typography_font_weight\":\"600\",\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":34},\"_element_id\":\"anchor02\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"heading\"},{\"id\":\"1aa1\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"Pipe insulation is inexpensive and widely available at hardware stores and home centers.

thermostat is a control that is common to virtually every heating system. A thermostat senses the room temperature and turns the heat on when the temperature drops below the set point. The simplest thing you can do to save energy is to turn down the thermostat. Depending on the climate, you can save about 10 percent if you keep the house cooler by 3\\u00b0F to 5\\u00b0F.\\n\\nTurning down a thermostat saves energy, but only if you\\u2019re consistent. If one person is always turning it down, and another is always turning it back up, the person who turns it up may set the thermostat even higher to compensate for feeling chilly\\u2014and use more energy. This \\u201cdueling manager\\u201d syndrome is particularly wasteful if you have a heat pump. Find the lowest setting that everyone in the family is consistently comfortable with, and then leave it alone (other than for regular setbacks).\\n\\nAnother way to save energy with your thermostat is by using a regular setback. Turning down the house temperature for 6 to 8 hours while everyone is asleep, or away during the day, can save a lot\\u2014about 10 percent for an 8-hour, 10\\u00b0F setback. Contrary to popular belief, it does not take more energy to bring the house back up to temperature. Remember, the heating system replaces heat that the house loses; if the indoor temperature is lower for a period of time, the house simply loses less heat during that time. But don\\u2019t overcompensate by setting the thermostat higher when you return; a setting of 78\\u00b0F does not warm the house up any faster than a setting of 70\\u00b0F.\\n\\nOne problem with turning down the thermostat while you\\u2019re away (or asleep) is that the house is cold when you return home (or get up). If you have a fairly regular schedule, an automatic thermostat can help. Set it to turn down the heat when you leave and turn it back up just before you get home; down at bedtime, up before you get up. Once it\\u2019s set, you don\\u2019t have to do anything. Most automatic thermostats can handle at least two setback periods during the day, and separate programs for weekends or all seven days.\\n\\n\\nThe Nest Learning Thermostat\\u2122 is a new twist on the old thermostat. It learns from your behavior to create automatic setbacks and bring the house back to temperature when you need it. A motion sensor knows if you come home early, and a wireless network interface allows remote control from a computer or smartphone, as well as access to local weather data. Other brands to consider are the Honeywell Lyric\\u2122 or the ecobee\\u2122. \\n\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":14},\"typography_font_size_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":14},\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24},\"typography_line_height_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"3f70\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":[],\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"70b\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"58f0b0c\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"color\":\"#7a7a7a\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"divider\"},{\"id\":\"3288\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"title\":\"Pipe Insulation \",\"header_size\":\"h1\",\"title_color\":\"#217094\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24},\"typography_font_weight\":\"600\",\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":34},\"_element_id\":\"anchor02\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"heading\"},{\"id\":\"1aa1\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"Pipe insulation is inexpensive and widely available at hardware stores and home centers.

thermostat is a control that is common to virtually every heating system. A thermostat senses the room temperature and turns the heat on when the temperature drops below the set point. The simplest thing you can do to save energy is to turn down the thermostat. Depending on the climate, you can save about 10 percent if you keep the house cooler by 3\\u00b0F to 5\\u00b0F.\\n\\nTurning down a thermostat saves energy, but only if you\\u2019re consistent. If one person is always turning it down, and another is always turning it back up, the person who turns it up may set the thermostat even higher to compensate for feeling chilly\\u2014and use more energy. This \\u201cdueling manager\\u201d syndrome is particularly wasteful if you have a heat pump. Find the lowest setting that everyone in the family is consistently comfortable with, and then leave it alone (other than for regular setbacks).\\n\\nAnother way to save energy with your thermostat is by using a regular setback. Turning down the house temperature for 6 to 8 hours while everyone is asleep, or away during the day, can save a lot\\u2014about 10 percent for an 8-hour, 10\\u00b0F setback. Contrary to popular belief, it does not take more energy to bring the house back up to temperature. Remember, the heating system replaces heat that the house loses; if the indoor temperature is lower for a period of time, the house simply loses less heat during that time. But don\\u2019t overcompensate by setting the thermostat higher when you return; a setting of 78\\u00b0F does not warm the house up any faster than a setting of 70\\u00b0F.\\n\\nOne problem with turning down the thermostat while you\\u2019re away (or asleep) is that the house is cold when you return home (or get up). If you have a fairly regular schedule, an automatic thermostat can help. Set it to turn down the heat when you leave and turn it back up just before you get home; down at bedtime, up before you get up. Once it\\u2019s set, you don\\u2019t have to do anything. Most automatic thermostats can handle at least two setback periods during the day, and separate programs for weekends or all seven days.\\n\\n\\nThe Nest Learning Thermostat\\u2122 is a new twist on the old thermostat. It learns from your behavior to create automatic setbacks and bring the house back to temperature when you need it. A motion sensor knows if you come home early, and a wireless network interface allows remote control from a computer or smartphone, as well as access to local weather data. Other brands to consider are the Honeywell Lyric\\u2122 or the ecobee\\u2122. \\n\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":14},\"typography_font_size_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":14},\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24},\"typography_line_height_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"3f70\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":[],\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"70b\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"58f0b0c\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"color\":\"#7a7a7a\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"divider\"},{\"id\":\"3288\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"title\":\"Pipe Insulation \",\"header_size\":\"h1\",\"title_color\":\"#217094\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24},\"typography_font_weight\":\"600\",\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":34},\"_element_id\":\"anchor02\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"heading\"},{\"id\":\"1aa1\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"Pipe insulation is inexpensive and widely available at hardware stores and home centers.

thermostat is a control that is common to virtually every heating system. A thermostat senses the room temperature and turns the heat on when the temperature drops below the set point. The simplest thing you can do to save energy is to turn down the thermostat. Depending on the climate, you can save about 10 percent if you keep the house cooler by 3\\u00b0F to 5\\u00b0F.\\n\\nTurning down a thermostat saves energy, but only if you\\u2019re consistent. If one person is always turning it down, and another is always turning it back up, the person who turns it up may set the thermostat even higher to compensate for feeling chilly\\u2014and use more energy. This \\u201cdueling manager\\u201d syndrome is particularly wasteful if you have a heat pump. Find the lowest setting that everyone in the family is consistently comfortable with, and then leave it alone (other than for regular setbacks).\\n\\nAnother way to save energy with your thermostat is by using a regular setback. Turning down the house temperature for 6 to 8 hours while everyone is asleep, or away during the day, can save a lot\\u2014about 10 percent for an 8-hour, 10\\u00b0F setback. Contrary to popular belief, it does not take more energy to bring the house back up to temperature. Remember, the heating system replaces heat that the house loses; if the indoor temperature is lower for a period of time, the house simply loses less heat during that time. But don\\u2019t overcompensate by setting the thermostat higher when you return; a setting of 78\\u00b0F does not warm the house up any faster than a setting of 70\\u00b0F.\\n\\nOne problem with turning down the thermostat while you\\u2019re away (or asleep) is that the house is cold when you return home (or get up). If you have a fairly regular schedule, an automatic thermostat can help. Set it to turn down the heat when you leave and turn it back up just before you get home; down at bedtime, up before you get up. Once it\\u2019s set, you don\\u2019t have to do anything. Most automatic thermostats can handle at least two setback periods during the day, and separate programs for weekends or all seven days.\\n\\n\\nThe Nest Learning Thermostat\\u2122 is a new twist on the old thermostat. It learns from your behavior to create automatic setbacks and bring the house back to temperature when you need it. A motion sensor knows if you come home early, and a wireless network interface allows remote control from a computer or smartphone, as well as access to local weather data. Other brands to consider are the Honeywell Lyric\\u2122 or the ecobee\\u2122. \\n\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":14},\"typography_font_size_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":14},\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24},\"typography_line_height_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"3f70\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":[],\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"70b\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"58f0b0c\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"color\":\"#7a7a7a\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"divider\"},{\"id\":\"3288\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"title\":\"Pipe Insulation \",\"header_size\":\"h1\",\"title_color\":\"#217094\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":24},\"typography_font_weight\":\"600\",\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":34},\"_element_id\":\"anchor02\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"heading\"},{\"id\":\"1aa1\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"Pipe insulation is inexpensive and widely available at hardware stores and home centers.

Like the top of a home, the bottom typically has the largest air pressure pushing air in or out of the house, so sealing those leaks results in larger energy savings. Second, though often smaller than attic leaks, basement and crawlspace leaks tend to be larger than those in exterior walls. More important, in most climates, air leaks in from the bottom in cool or cold weather. This leaking air can carry radon gas, mold spores, gases from pesticide treatments, water vapor, and any other subsoil nasties that may become airborne. Sealing leaks at the lowest level of your home helps prevent these undesirable elements from entering your home.

More important, in most climates, air leaks in from the bottom in cool or cold weather. This leaking air can carry radon gas, mold spores, gases from pesticide treatments, water vapor, and any other subsoil nasties that may become airborne.

The only way to tell whether you have dangerous radon levels is to test your home. Because of the potential health risks, it is a good idea to test for radon whether or not you do air-sealing. If elevated radon levels are confirmed by at least two tests, find a certified professional to install a mitigation system.

However, air-sealing does require attention to detail and (in many homes) a willingness to squeeze into difficult places. If these qualities don\\u2019t describe you, it may be worth hiring a building-performance professional. Experienced professionals use a blower door to help find air leaks and measure the tightness of the building.

Of course, if the next stage is a few years off, it may still be well worth hitting the big leaks at a minimum.
