Do you know how your home is heated right now? Most people don't even think about it. After all, they have a handy dandy thermostat to control their home's climate for optimal comfort. Thanks to rising fuel costs, homeowners are becoming more aware of their heating and cooling systems and wondering how to save money on their energy bills.
