This is the time of year that I start to wonder how to save
money. Unfortunately, it’s also the time of colder days
and higher heating bills. I have found that with these simple tricks I can keep the
house comfy and lower my energy bills.
- The first thing is CHANGE THE DIRTY FILTER !!!
Now
to most people this is a no
brainer; but the cleaner your filter is, the more efficiently your
furnace will
run.

- Along with changing your filter regularly, have your heating and air conditioning system professionally cleaned twice a year -
1. right before the summer cooling season and
2. right before winter when the furnace works the hardest
to keep the efficiency at its best.
- Also, by learning how to use my programmable thermostat, I have been amazed to see the difference in savings. By setting the thermostat to run just 5 degrees cooler when I’m asleep and 10 degrees cooler when I’m gone to work, I can save almost $200 per heating season. The neatest thing to me about using a programmable thermostat? I never feel the colder temps. By programming the thermostat to return to normal temps about an hour before I wake up or get home I save money and stay toasty.
- Filling cracks around windows with clear caulk and blocking drafts near the door jam are low tech and helpful ways to save some more money.
Hope these tips help you save some money WHILE you stay
toasty this winter.
