Heating tips
- Conserve and save: Keep your thermostat at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. When no one is home, lower it to 55 degrees and 60 degrees when you're in bed. For each degree you lower your thermostat, you will cut your fuel consumption by 2-3%.
- Check your water heater temperature. A setting of 110 degrees is fine if you don't have a dishwasher, otherwise 140 degrees is about right.
- Before each year's first cold snap, get an annual inspection of your heating system and perform any related maintenance.
