Energy saving tips for your home or business:
- Install a programmable thermostat. Setting your home to a lower temperature at night and when you are away will save energy.
- Check windows and doors for drafts and leaks. Caulking and weather-stripping around doors and windows will prevent heat loss
- Keep windows closed when your heat is on
- Replace old appliances with energy efficient appliances
- Change furnace filters regularly to ensure maximum air flow
- Open curtains and shades when the sun is shining and close them at night to reduce the chill from cold windows
- Keep curtains and furniture away from heating vents
- Vacuum, dust and remove pet hair from warm air registers and cold air returns
- Ensure the dampers in your warm air registers are open
- Regularly clean vents and chimneys
- Perform regular maintenance on all gas appliances
