Winter time brings icy roads, frozen fingers, cooler homes and higher heating bills. What many homeowners do not realize is that your heating bill does not have to be so high. There are actually very simple ways to reduce this bill without having to spend large amounts of money. Save Money This Year By Following These Useful Tips:
- You can save up to 3% on your heating bill for every degree you set back your thermostat. Simply turn down your thermostat ten degrees at times you know your home will be empty.
- Lower the temperature of your water heater to about 115 degrees. You would not notice a big difference in temperature, only in your wallet.
- Since heat rises it is best to keep your fireplace damper closed.
- Always make sure your garage door is shut.
- Unblock heating vents by removing rugs and furniture which can prevent hot air from proper circulation.
- Keep blinds and curtains closed at night to keep heat from escaping.
- Door sweeps are essential for keeping heat from escaping under doors.
- Use caulk to block drafty spots around window frames.
- Replace air filters to ensure your furnace can work optimally.
- Buy a low flow shower head. This nifty device can save you money on both your water and power bills.
These tips may seem obvious but because they are very effective it helps to be reminded of them. All items on this cost less than $20 and most are under five dollars.
