Money Saving Tips
- Install a programmable thermostat - For $50 - $100, you can change your thermostat to a programmable
one. This will allow you to change the settings when you are not home and asleep.
- Install a humidifier
- The heat our bodies feel is a copmbination of temperature and humidity. In other words, the more humid the air, the
warmer you feel. If you add humidity to dry, heated air in the winter, you can set your thermostat lower and still be
comfortable.
- Change out your Furnace - Most of the originacl furnaces are 80% Efficient. By upgrading
the efficiency of the gas furnace, you will decrease the amount of propane used yearly.
