I recently put a timer (15 amp) on the power vent to keep it turned off from 9p until 430a. I spoke to a plumber who advised that is is okay because the unit needs the power vent operating before any gas flows or the unit becomes active. In addition I have the tank and pipes all insulated to help keep the heat longer inside. Finally, I turned the temperature of the heater down to the 115 degree range.

Its made a huge difference the house is much warmer and the heat seems to stays in the house for much longer, when the heating has been turned off. I have not considered some of your ten points though so thanks will try them. We have just had our cavity wall insulated and extra insulation placed in the loft.

To be honest, many of these tips also apply for saving money on air conditioning - sealing leaks, improving ducts, and adding insulation. Doing things to save money year round just means a greater return on investment. :) Great tip, DG!

They are typically located in cold and damp basements so any type of covering can help. Good tips.
