Energy Saving Tips

* Ceiling fans are useful all year round. With their direction reversed in the winter, they create a gentle updraft that moves warm air from the ceiling and distributes it evenly throughout the room.

* Set your hot water temperature at the “normal” setting - no higher than 120 degrees F. This can cut your water heating costs by 10%.

* Get a humidifier to add moisture to the air. The air inside your home can be very dry. Moister air feels warmer, so a humidifier can help you feel comfortable even though your thermostat is set at a lower temperature.

* Purchase a timer to set the thermostat on your furnace. Set the temperature to 62-65 degrees while you are sleeping and at  work. Auto-set it to turn on 30 minutes before you rise or return home. The energy savings will help with your winter fuel bills.

* Dispose of older incandescent lights and buy new LED lights. Older incandescent lights can use up to 99 percent more energy than new LED lights.

* Make sure your heating vents aren’t blocked by furniture or drapes and the dampers are open. Vacuum out dust and pet hair from warm air registers and cold air returns so your furnace runs more efficiently.
