Gas furnaces need a tune-
up and safety test at least ev

all combustion heaters should
include a combustion efficien
cy test. If you have a heat
pump, have its performance
and refrigerant charge tested
every year.
In many homes, as much
as one-third of heat from the
furnace is wasted before it
gets to living spaces. Leaky
ducts are the culprit. Seal any
obvious holes and reattach
disconnected ducts. Insulate
ducts in garages, attics and
crawl spaces.
Clogged furnace filters re
