Quick Tips for Using Less Fuel

Quick Tips for Using Less Fuel

  • Get your heating system tune-up completed. Tune-ups keep your system running at maximum effi ciency—which saves you money as well as improving your comfort.
  • Reverse the direction of your ceiling fans so you can circulate warm air downward (where you can feel it). You’ll be able to keep your thermostat at a lower setting and conserve fuel.
  • Check the condition of weatherstripping around windows and doors and recaulk other areas where necessary to keep heated air from leaking outside.
  • Open south-facing window blinds and let sunlight heat up your home naturally during the day. At night, close drapes to hold in the heat and keep out the cold.
