RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This winter, Dominion Energy Virginia is reminding customers of simple energy-saving tips, as well as the programs that help customers save on their energy use and provide bill payment assistance for those in need.

"Heating your home during the winter months can require a lot more energy," said Ed Baine, President of Dominion Energy Virginia. "Dominion Energy has tools and programs to help all customers manage their energy bills, including budget billing and energy efficiency programs. By using these programs, and following simple energy-saving tips, customers can help lower their monthly power bills and manage their energy use."

Follow these tips to conserve energy use this winter: 

  • Manage your thermostat. Set the thermostat at 68° or as low as is comfortable.
  • Replace air filters regularly. Dirty air filters can increase energy usage, damage the heating system and compromise air quality. 
  • Check your water heater. Set the water heater's temperature to 120° unless the manufacturer's guidelines require a higher setting.
  • Measure attic insulation. Ensure attic insulation is at least 12 inches deep. Add more insulation (R-38 or higher) if needed. 
  • Caulk, seal and weather-strip. Check for drafts around all seams, cracks and openings. Caulk and seal around windows and replace old weather stripping around doors.

Higher energy bills can be common in the winter. Learn more about other causes of high bills and steps you can take to save energy and lower your bill.
