Whether the reason why you want to reduce your energy bills is to save the planet or to save money, there are many things that you can do to reduce your energy expenses – here are our top tips:
- Have your furnace inspected and maintained by a professional furnace repair Denver company – a furnace that works all the time, but does not deliver the expected heat is a waste of money. However, in most cases the efficiency of your furnace can be easily restored, so hire a technician to check the unit and fix it if necessary.
- Heat only the rooms that you use.
- Get a programmable thermostat – you don’t need the heating turned up high 24/7. The easiest way to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home while also reducing your energy bills is by getting a thermostat that you can program to keep the temperature higher during the day and lower during the night.
- Get proper insulation – insufficient insulation is another major cause of heat loss. Insulating your home does require you to make a substantial investment, but it will also make your home more comfortable and much cheaper to heat.
- Check the caulking around the doors and windows – the areas around the doors and the windows is where most of the heat escapes from the home, so check the caulking and re-caulk if necessary.
