I've not heard of anyone doing this, but how about a flex hose like dryer
vent. From the air intake side of the furnace to an outdoor vent, like a
dryer vent. Every time the furnace runs, it would draw in some slight
ammount of fresh air from the outside. Of course, it would gently pressurize
the house so you'd lose some heat that way. But, it would be a convenient
way to do it, and it sounds like you're losing heat using the present sytem
of open windows every three days. So, it wouldn't be a major change in the
power bill.


I have done exactly that. It is some help.
Screen the inlet against critters.

Careful to place the intake far from any
combustion exhausts or even dryer vent.
