What More Can You Do?
Here are additional energy saving tips that will help further
reduce your energy use.
- Clean or replace furnace air filters once a month in
winter. Don't forget to clean vent covers as well.
- Have your heating equipment serviced annually, before
use, by a licensed and bonded service professional.
- Check and adjust the flame on your natural gas and heating
oil burners so that they burn blue.
- Caulk around exterior windows and doorframes.
- Seal cracks around doors to prevent air infiltration.
- Install gaskets under the cover plates of light switches
and electrical outlets on exterior walls to reduce air
leakage.
- Open shades and curtains during the day to let in the
sun's warmth.
- Close drapes at night to prevent heat loss.
- Cover cold floors with rugs or carpet.
- Close the damper on your fireplace when it's not in use.
Reopen damper when lighting a fire.
- If your fireplace doesn't have a damper, you
can seal your fireplace with glass or Plexiglas doors.
- Close doors to unoccupied rooms.
- When entering or exiting your home, close doors as quickly
as possible to limit heat loss.
- Lower your thermostat to 68 to 70 degrees; check the
setting with a thermometer. Some experts suggest going
as low as 65 degrees.
- Wear layered warm clothing.
All of these tips can help further reduce your energy use
and save you additional energy consumption.
So, Where Do My Energy Dollars Go?
When it comes to cutting costs, it helps to understand more
about home energy use. According to Energy
Star, the average home uses more energy and creates more
air pollution than the average car. So where does one begin?
Energy Star says a typical home energy bill breaks down as
follows:
- Heating/cooling - 48%
- Water heater - 13%
- Clothes washer & dryer - 6%
- Lighting - 5%
- Refrigerator - 6%
- Dishwasher - 2%
- TV, VCR, DVD - 2%
- Computer monitor - 1%
- Other - 17%
How to Keep from Getting Hot and Bothered when the
Heating Bill Arrives
So, if you're heating your home or office with heating
oil or natural gas. And are worried about how this winter
will effect you? Are you concerned that your heating
bills are going to skyrocket? And that your hot water heating
system (boiler), steam heating system (boiler), or forced
air heating system (furnace) are up to the challenge? Have
you done all you can do to keep your house and your family
comfortably warm and snug?
If you don't have that sort
of peace of mind, then consider an Intellidyne energy
economizer. Intellidyne can help you make this winter warmer
and less expensive. |
