Conservation is the Answer - Take
action today to start saving |
|
Conservation makes more sense than switching from one fuel to another.
In any given year only about one out of twenty consumers is likely to be
facing the prospect of having to purchase a new heating system. For the
95 percent of consumers who do not need a new heating system, lowering
energy bills can be easily and economically accomplished with energy
conservation methods. Switching fuels makes no economical sense, since
the long-term price difference between fuels is likely to be small. For
the five percent who do face the prospect of having to purchase a new
heating system, the best advice is to buy efficiency. |

Set it back!!!!! |
The
thermostat that is. Every degree lower at night or when you are away can
add up to significant savings over the course of a winter. A
programmable thermostat will allow you to set it and forget it. A
reminder: During sever single digit cold, turn your thermostat up a few
degrees to ensure that your pipes do not freeze. |
|
I know it’s here somewhere. |
Check for
lost heat. Close your fireplace damper when not in use. Do not run
exhaust fans any longer than necessary. Check to ensure your home
exterior is properly caulked around windows, doors and fireplaces. Be
sure you have an adequate blanket of insulation in your attic. Install
energy efficient windows to keep heat in during the winter and heat out
in the summer. |
|
Go with the flow. |
Air flow
that is. Be sure all duct work, baseboard and radiators are clean and
unobstructed. Heated air needs to be able to circulate. Vacuum your
baseboard fins and make sure carpeting does not block air flow
underneath. Be sure your baseboards and radiators are not blocked by
furniture or drapes which can trap heat. |
|
Consider An Upgrade. |
If your
equipment is 20 or more years old you have the opportunity to upgrade to
a state of the art, clean burning, and energy efficient heating system.
New equipment can reduce your oil consumption by as much as 30%, a
savings payback on your investment that will beat the return of any bank
or stock. You’ll also enjoy the extra dividends of plentiful hot water,
reliable warmth and increased home value. Now is a great time to get a
great price on a new boiler or burner. Call today to set up an estament
