Energy Saving Tips

Have your heating system cleaned and serviced annually. This yearly maintenance will keep your system operating at peak efficiency and safety.

Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is going.

Insulate appropriately for your climate for more efficient heating and cooling.

Have a well-ventilated attic to reduce moisture accumulation.

Caulk and weatherstrip leaky windows and door frames.

Consider installing storm windows and doors, or use plastic film kits for single-pane windows, to reduce leaks and drafts.

Consider buying an inexpensive programmable thermostat which raises temperatures when you're home, and lowers temperatures when you are away or sleeping.
