Set Your Thermostat at the Lowest Comfy Temperature
Each degree higher increases energy costs.
Clear the Area Around Heating Vents
Carpets, furniture, and other objects can block vents and prevent heated air from circulating in your home.
Insulate Hot-water Pipes and Warm-air Ducts
Clean or replace filters for furnaces and heat pumps. Have a qualified contractor clean and inspect heating systems.
Take Showers Instead of Baths
Showers use half as much water as baths. Less hot water means less energy used.
Consider a Cold Wash
About 90% of the energy consumed for washing clothes is used to heat the water.
Open Your Shades on South-Facing Windows
Taking advantage of the daylight can help make a dent in your heating costs.
