- Reduce thermostat setting to 68 degrees.
Reducing your thermostat setting can substantially lower your heating costs. Putting on those extra layers will help you stay comfortable while saving on your heating bill. - Close off vents and doors to rooms and areas of the house that are unused. Make sure there are no exposed pipes in those areas that could freeze.
- Open the drapes when the sun is shining and close them at night to help retain inside heat.
