 Every month we will give you valuable Heating Tips that will save you money.
Its not too late to stop your money from slipping away!

1. A programmable thermostat for your heating system can save 5-30% off your heating and cooling bill by automatically adjusting the thermostat setting at night or times when your home is unoccupied. And remember to clean/replace filters on furnaces monthly.

2. Putting an insulating wrap on your water heater can reduce your water heating cost-- the typical cost of insulating is about $20.

3. Dishwashers use 37% less water than washing by hand--if you wash full loads and use the short cycle.

4. Use a microwave if you're cooking or heating a small amount of food.

5. Use fluorescent lighting. Compact fluorescents use 75% less energy and lasts 10 times longer than ordinary bulbs.

6. When doing laundry always use the cold water rinse cycle. Rinsing in warm water won't make clothes cleaner. Check and clean dryer's lint filter often. Lint restricts air circulation and is a fire hazard.
