Looking to SAVE money this winter? New homes that are built to Energy Star specifications can help save you money! Try these energy saving tips as well…
- Set your thermostat to 68 degrees or lower.
- Install a programmable thermostat and use it wisely to save on heating costs.
- Check your HVAC air filters monthly and change as needed.
- Use space heaters with caution. They can cost approximately $0.15 per hour to operate on a high setting.
- Reverse the direction on your ceiling fans in the winter (clockwise position) to redirect the warm air from the ceiling level back into the room
- Unplug unnecessary items when not being used. Especially electrical devices that continue to drain electricity even when off.
