Tips to help minimize the impact of cold, winter weather on your power bill include:
- Optimize heating – Remember, heating can account for 50 percent of a home's typical winter energy usage. Enhance the efficiency of your heating unit by changing filters monthly, or every three months for pleated filters. Make sure heating vents and return air registers are unobstructed by furniture or drapes.
- Check your insulation – Keep heat where it belongs by ensuring proper insulation in attics and walls. Replace any cracked or peeling caulk or weatherstripping around doors and windows to save up to 10 percent on energy usage and reduce cold air infiltration into your home.
- Adjust your thermostat – Set your manual thermostat to 68 degrees or lower. Each degree lower can result in a 3
-4% decrease in energy consumption. Or take advantage of programmable thermostat features if available to save energy throughout the day. - Utilize natural heat – Open blinds and shades on sunny days to naturally warm your home at no cost. Close them at night to minimize the chill from cold windows.
