Did you know that heating could be 50% of your winter bills? Simple ways to help lower your heating bill through winter months

Heating can account for almost 50% of the average family’s winter energy bill. Make sure that your furnace or heat pump receives professional maintenance yearly. Set your thermostat to a comfortable 68 degrees. When going away for extended periods make sure to turn off the heat. Open your shades and drapes to let the daytime sun in, but be sure to close them at night. Move furniture away from outside walls. Close all heating vents in rooms not in use such as attic, basement, spare bedrooms etc. You can also add draft-excluders to your doors and windows where possible and wear warm clothes indoors.
