Check Your Systems Early and Often
It's not unreasonable to want to feel comfortable in your home in the winter without freezing or having to wear multiple layers of clothing. Your older or historic building is going to operate differently than a modern building, so you should take deliberate steps to improve its conditions. First and foremost, make sure you investigate the many low cost and minimally invasive passive heating strategies before opting for a new system. Service your furnace each fall and be sure to change out filters regularly to maximize airflow and the efficiency of your heater. Or, consider a zoned heating system with separate controls for spaces. Installing a programmable thermostat can keep your home warm when you're there and cooler while you're away. Also, close your damper when your fireplace is not in use to avoid major heat loss.
