Conservation Tips

Space Heating is the largest Gas expense in most homes, accounting for around half of your annual gas usage. Reducing your energy usage for heating provides you with the single most effective way to reduce your gas bills.

     A heating system replaces the heat that is lost through the shell of your home. How much energy your heating system needs to replace the lost heat depends on four factors.

1. Where the home is located.

2. The size of the home.

3. The energy efficiency of the home.

4. The energy efficiency of the furnace.

• Check your furnace filter every month and replace as needed, a clogged filter can cause short cycling and even damage to key components in your system.

• Proper attic insulation can help keep your energy bills down all year round by maintaining the temperature in your home for a longer period of time.

• Caulking around Windows and Doors can a help by keeping unwanted outside temperature out.

• Replacing older Windows help conserve on your energy bills, or sealing them with window sealing kits sold at your local hardware store during the cold winter months will also help.

Have a qualified HVAC contractor clean and check your equipment once a year to insure units are operating safely and at the optimal efficiency’s.
