Even though prices are the lowest they have been in quite some time, saving money and conserving is always a good thing!
​
HEAT SAVING TIPS: 
  • Get your  heating system tuned up — it will ensure you get the maximum performance out of every drop of heating oil burned. 
  • Open shades and drapes when the sun is out to help warm your home. Close them when the sun goes down to reduce heat loss through drafty windows. 
  • Turn down the thermostat at night and when you are away from home; even slightly lowering your thermostat during the day may save you up to two percent on your heating bill. 
  • Insulate pipes to guard against heat loss and to prevent them from freezing. 
  • Stop heat loss by eliminating any gaps between your door and threshold. Use a seal that can be attached to the bottom of the door – it should brush up against the threshold to fill any gap. 
  • Caulk or re-caulk exterior spaces between the windows and walls of your home. 
  • Close your kitchen vent, fireplace damper and closet doors, and remove, cover or close air conditioning units and vents when not in use. 
  • Do not place furniture in front of radiators; it will block heat from circulating.
