The Gas Company
www.socalgas.com Furnace Maintenance, Conservation & Safety Tips: A clean furnace filter is an efficient furnace filter. Cleaning or replacing filters per manufacturer recommendations, can save up to 2% off your natural gas bill. As we head into the winter heating season, now’s the time to perform maintenance on home-heating appliances to promote safe and energy-efficient operation. Call The Gas Company® or a licensed heating contractor for an annual furnace inspection. As the temperature goes down, your heating bill goes up...but you can save 10 to 20% on heating costs by lowering your furnace thermostat 3 to 5 degrees (health permitting). You don't have to be home to keep your home comfortable. Install an ENERGY STAR® programmable thermostat to keep you cozy when you’re home and to automatically turn off when you’re away. Check your air ducts for leaks and seal them -- to save 5 – 20% of your heating costs. Caulk and weather-strip windows and doors and save up to 5% of your heating costs. Save up to 10% of hot water costs by washing full loads of laundry in cold water. And consider purchasing an ENERGY STAR® clothes washer which uses up to 35-50% less water and up to 50% less energy per load. |
