Buying a Home





How to reduce your natural gas use and manage home heating costs this winter:
  1. Prevent heated air from leaving your home. To improve energy efficiency and comfort while reducing heating costs, keep your fireplace flue closed when not in use. Make sure the caulking around your windows and door frames is not cracked or seal.
  2. Inspect your insulation. Proper insulation depth will reduce heat loss through your home's ceilings and walls.
  3.  Keep your curtains or blonds closed at night to help reduce heat loss through windows .
  4. Adjust your thermostat settings. Keep your thermostat set at 68 degrees F when you're awake at home, and at 55 degrees F or OFF while sleeping or away from home. Discuss with family members.
  5. Use portable electric heaters when you need a room heated ford just a few hours; they warm quickly and efficiently. Do not use propane or other non-vented heaters indoors.
  6. Consider replacing old furnaces and appliances with energy-efficient ones.
  7. Install a programmable thermostat. You can pre-set the temperature to efficient levels when you're awake or asleep at home or away.
  8. Consider increasing monthly utilities payments now to get a head start on winter heating bills.
