SOUTHBOROUGH, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 10, 2008 -- The makers of Honeywell Home Comfort Products are kicking off its energy savings campaign by sharing tips with energy and comfort-conscious consumers, who also want to save cash and the environment.

Using these suggestions, consumers can save on energy costs, and live more comfortably, year-round.

Heat Just the Rooms You're In -- and Watch Your Savings Add Up!

Today's portable electric heaters include updated features and are increasingly popular for households seeking to save money on heating bills. According to the Alliance to Save Energy, every degree a consumer turns down his/her thermostat brings a 4% saving on the heating bill. These savings add up.

Keep Your Indoor Air Fresher and Cleaner During Closed Window Season

Did you know the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says indoor air can be between two and five times more polluted -- and occasionally as much as 100 times more polluted -- than outdoor air? Keeping the indoor environment fresher and cleaner is especially important during cold weather months, when windows are closed. Honeywell offers a range of affordable, high efficiency air purifiers that are 99 percent effective at capturing harmful indoor air pollutants. Some Honeywell air purifiers are Energy Star-rated, and can be used for about the same cost as a 40-watt light bulb! Most products feature permanent washable filters to save money and reduce landfill waste. To learn which air purifier is right for your family, visit www.honeywellcleanair.com.

Marry Your Fan... to a Heating and Cooling System, That Is!

The EPA says heating and cooling make up 49% of the average consumer's energy bill. By adding an affordable Honeywell floor, desktop or whole room fan/air circulator to one's current heating and cooling system, consumers can potentially shave hundreds of dollars off energy costs and feel comfortable immediately.
