Energy Conservation Tips to Keep You Warm and Save Money
As you enjoy the fall foliage and warm apple cider this autumn, we’re getting our team ready for another busy winter at Cash Oil Co. As your reliable heating oil dealer, Cash Oil Co. understands the costs it takes to keep your home safe and warm all winter. We always try to keep our prices as affordable as possible, but you can save even more on your heating costs by practicing a few simple conservation techniques!
Here are seven easy and low-cost hacks to cut your fuel bills:
- Add caulking and weather-stripping around doors, attic access, windows, outdoor faucets, and any areas where there might be leaks. An October afternoon is the perfect time to check for drafts!
- Install rubber gaskets behind outlets and switch plates on exterior walls and install or replace door sweeps.
- Reduce the temperature of your water heater to 120 degrees.
- Switch your ceiling fan to turn in a clockwise direction – it will create an updraft and circulate warm air throughout the room.
- Check weather-stripping and door sweeps at least once a year and repair or replace them as needed.
- Wrap your pipes to guard against heat loss and protect them from freezing.
- Open window blinds and shades during the day and let the sunshine in!
