Understanding Heating Costs

  • 💡 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.
