Fiberglass batting or commercial duct wrap can be used. 4) Make sure both return air grills and supply registrars are kept free from any obstruction, in- cluding drapes and fur- niture. With forced air- systems, the furnace filters should be changed regularly. 5) With hot water systems, the exposed ac- cessible heating pipes should be insulated with flexible foil-faced fiberglass at least 19mm thick. A rigid, foil-faced insulating board between the wall and the radiator, will reflect much more heat into the room. 6) Some old hot water systems rely on gravity to circulate the water, and ad- ding a circulating pump to the system can lead to potential fuel savings of as much as 30 percent. 7) If there is an aquastat on the boiler, (a water temperature control) the water temperature can be reduced to about 49 celsius of 120 farenheit during warmer parts of the heating season. This reduced set- ting will prevent overheating your house in the spring and fall. 8) A more expensive op- tion is to install an automatic aquastat to reduce water temperature as outdoor temperature - rises.
