Clean registers, baseboard heaters and radiators as needed; make sure
they are not blocked by furniture, carpeting or drapes.
Bleed trapped air from hot-water radiators once or twice a season; if in
doubt how to perform this task, consult a professional.
Place heat-resistant radiator reflectors between exterior walls and
radiators.
Keep draperies and shades on south-facing windows open during the day to
allow sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the
chill.
