- 💡 Heating your home for the first time in a while can significantly increase electricity and gas bills, potentially by 30% or more.
- ⚠️ Running heaters nonstop or setting thermostats too high are common reasons for soaring energy costs.
US Department of Energy Recommendations
- 🌡️ Set your thermostat between 68-70°F when you are home.
- 📉 Lower the thermostat by a few degrees when you are asleep or away to save approximately 10% on your bill.
Efficient Heating Practices
- ⚡ Avoid cranking the thermostat immediately when you feel cold; it won't warm the house faster and wastes energy.
- 🏠 Close off unused rooms to conserve heat in the areas you are actively using.
- 🚪 Seal drafts around doors and windows, and use curtains to trap warm air inside, preventing the heater from running constantly.
