Furnace heating:
- Get your furnace serviced before each heating season. This will save you money in heating bills as well as money in repairs you could have avoided by having a service before using it.
- Keep your temperature set between 65-75 degrees. If your system is below 65 degrees it will run but not warm up enough, which wastes energy. If your system is above 75 degrees, you’re also wasting energy.
- Energy Star appliances can save you around $586 per year! If you install an Energy Star furnace in your home you’ll be using less energy which will lower your bills significantly.
- Clean the warm and cold air registers on your furnace. This will make sure that your furnace is running properly at the correct temperatures.
Hot water heating:
- Keep your hot water heater insulated so that you don’t lose any heat.
- Set the temperature low if you’re going to be away for a longer amount of time. Don’t lower it if you’re going away for a weekend, as it will take more energy to reheat the water after this short amount of time.
- Keep your heat setting low, but not lower than 120 degrees.
- Flush your hot water tank once a year to avoid any buildup in the system.
