Tips for Winter Energy Savings

Heating bills can average 40% or more of your energy costs.  Help reduce your winter utility bills by following these free or low cost steps that save you money and conserve precious energy:
~Set thermostate at 68 degrees.  Every degree above 68 degrees adds four percent to your heating costs....
~Wear layered clothing and thick socks to keep warm.
~At bedtime, lower thermostat even more and add extra blankets.
~Keep curtains and blinds closed at night and on cloudy days; open curtains on sunny days for warmth.
~Make sure central-heating air filter are cleaned or replaced regularly.
~Adjust water heater to 120 degrees or "warm" - it still provides hot water.
