Practical Tips To Keep Costs Down

When winter temperatures drop, your heating bill can rise. In fact, home heating is usually the most expensive system to operate in your home, often accounting for around 29% of your utility bills. For those relying on propane, kerosene or fuel oil, there’s good news: while electricity rates only seem to climb, fuel prices can fluctuate, offering opportunities to save. By taking simple, proactive steps, you can keep warm without breaking the bank.

Start With Energy-Saving Basics

Small adjustments in your daily routine can lead to significant savings.

  • Use A Smart Thermostat

    Program your thermostat to lower the temperature when you’re away or asleep. Simply lowering the temperature by 7–10°F for eight hours daily can reduce heating costs by up to 10% annually.

  • Seal Drafts

    Inspect doors, windows and vents for air leaks. Adding weatherstripping or caulking can prevent warm air from escaping like money out the window.

  • Don’t Heat Unused Rooms

    Close vents in rarely used spaces like guest rooms to save energy. Use heaters or gas log sets in frequently used rooms for added warmth.

  • Invest In More Insulation

    Upgrade insulation in areas like your attic or walls to prevent heat loss and boost your home’s energy efficiency.

  • Schedule Regular Maintenance

    Keeping your heating system clean and tuned allows it to operate at its best and use less fuel to keep your home warm.

Propane Outperforms Electric Heat

If you’re considering switching heating systems, propane offers several advantages over electric heat. Propane burns hotter, delivering a cozier warmth even in frigid temperatures. Plus, unlike electricity rates, which tend to steadily climb, propane prices fluctuate with market conditions, giving you more opportunities to save over time.
