Did You Know?
You can save up to 10% on heating bills by using a programmable or smart thermostat to minimize heating when away from home or asleep.
In warm seasons at night (when temperatures are cooler), open windows when you feel comfortable doing so (i.e. in calm weather condition, with a window stopper in place, during clean air days, etc).
Choosing fans before air conditioning, especially during on-peak hours, can save money.
