Here are some Fuel Saving Tips that can Help Save You Money
- Clean or change your furnace filter once a month during the heating season. Clean filters make your furnace operate more efficiently.
- Close the damper on your unused fireplace or stove to prevent warm inside air escaping out up your chimney.
- Install an automatic setback or programmable thermostat. These thermostats can be programmed to reduce the temperature while you are away or sleeping at night.
- Lower your thermostat when away from home for more than a few hours.
- Lower the thermostat on your water heater from the standard 140 degrees Fahrenheit if you don’t need it that hot.
- Drain your propane water heater every 6 months or more to reduce energy robbing deposits which decrease efficiency.
- Replace old or outdated appliances with higher efficient models.
- Keep the lint filter on your propane dryer clean.
- Close doors or dampers to rooms that are not being used.
- Update windows and doors, replace ineffective weather stripping and increase insulation.
