10 Ways to Save on Energy Costs This Winter

10 Ways to Save on Energy Costs This Winter - Superior Co-Op HVAC, Saratoga, NY

 

This winter, like many others before it, will be cold! Check out these tips from U.S. News

10 Ways to Save on Energy Costs This Winter

Here are several tips to reduce energy consumption and maintain comfortable temperatures in your home this winter:

1. Use the sun for free heat.

That bright orb in the sky should be the focus of temperature control in your residence throughout the year.

Open the curtains on your south-facing windows during winter days to bring free heat into your home. Close your window coverings when the sun goes down to keep the heat inside.

2. Bundle up with warm accessories.

This is one of the easiest ways to save on your heating bill. Instead of turning the heat up, put on a cozy winter sweater and warm socks. Keep throw blankets on your couch, and add an area rug to insulate the floor.

3. Use ceiling fans to your advantage.

Ceiling fans can be used strategically to achieve better airflow: counter-clockwise will push hot air up in the summer and clockwise will trap heat inside to keep your rooms warmer during cooler months.

Turn your ceiling fan on a low setting to gently push hot air back down.

4. Adjust the thermostat at night.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save about 10 percent per year on your heating bills by turning your thermostat down 10 to 15 degrees for eight hours.

Consider investing in flannel sheets and a warm comforter for your bed and keeping your apartment cooler when you sleep.

5. Only heat the rooms you use.

If you have rooms that you never use, like guest rooms or large storage areas, close and seal off the vents in those rooms to be more energy efficient and direct the flow of air to the rooms you use most. Energy bills run, on average, $183 per month.

By using a space heater in the rooms where you need it and setting the thermostat to 62 degrees, you can save approximately $200 each year.

6. Keep your furnace clean and unblocked.

Keeping your furnace and vents properly maintained will reduce energy consumption and help you save. Check your furnace filter monthly, and replace it when it gets dirty.

Need help? Contact us at Superior Co-Op for monthly maintenance.

7. Get a humidifier to add moisture to the air.

The air inside your home can become very dry. Moist air feels warmer and holds heat better, so a humidifier can help you feel comfortable when your thermostat is set at a lower temperature.

You can also increase the humidity in your apartment with a collection of house plants.
