Energy Economics
Your best bet may be concentrating on adaptations that will improve efficiency:
• retrofitting a smaller gauge spray-nozzle and delayed-action solenoid valve (oil-fired systems only);
• increasing the circulating-fan's "on-time";
• electric ignition and built-in
vent damper (gas-fired systems only).

Attic Fans
There are two basic ways to position the fan, depending on its design: horizontally, over the ceiling opening; or directly on an attic wall, where again, it still draws air from a ceiling
vent.

Fans
Be certain the wiring is not damaged or hanging out of the
vent in the rear cover. Install the screw on top, and install the strain relief.

Hot - Water Heating
Open the
vent screw at one end of the radiator and keep it open until hot water spurts out — hopefully into a handy cup or glass.
