Your furnace is working a little harder in this cold weather. News 12 Connecticut has some home heating tips.

Make sure your home is properly insulated. Check for drafts around windows and doors.

Make sure you've had your boiler serviced. Regular maintenance checks of your boiler can help you maximize your heating without spending more on heating oil. Make sure you have enough oil in your tank. If you run out you can have big bills ahead if you have to replace your boiler. And installing a programmable thermostat is not a bad idea. A programmable thermostat can automatically adjust the heat throughout the day to reduce oil consumption.

The average price for home heating oil in Connecticut right now is $3.77
