Keeping your house warm during the winter months in Arizona can be costly. According to Energy.gov, heating your home typically costs about 29% of your monthly utility bill. Before you start flinching at what your next month\u2019s heating bill will be, Bruce\u2019s has six helpful ways to save money on home heating costs. You\u2019ll be able to reduce your energy bill while still keeping your house warm and cozy.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not always easy to determine where your home may be losing heat. Windows, door frames, inadequate insulation, and open chimney vents are four of the top offenders for heat loss. Your professionals at Bruce\u2019s can look for all the places where your house is losing valuable heat and provide a list of recommendations on how to fix them. Best of all, a home energy audit is eligible for a $150 energy efficient home improvement tax credit.<\/p>\n
One easy way to lower your energy bill is to turn down your thermostat. The magic number is 68 degrees according to the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Energy Saver website. Turning the thermostat down by seven to 10 degrees when you\u2019re away from home, sleeping, or even at home can save you up to 10% on your annual heating bill.<\/p>\n
Increase your indoor air quality, lengthen the lifespan of your HVAC system, and decrease your energy bills by checking and replacing air filters. This is an easy project that can be done each month by replacing dirty, clogged air filters.<\/p>\n
The hot water heater is one of the primary users of electricity or gas in your house. Turning down the temperature setting to 120 degrees or even a bit lower can go a long way towards reducing your heating costs.<\/p>\n
Keep south-facing drapes, shades, and curtains open during daylight hours to let natural sunlight in to help heat your house.<\/p>\n
The top tip to keep your heating system working optimally is preventative maintenance on your heating system. A heating system that\u2019s inspected, serviced, and repaired properly will use less power and increase system lifespan.<\/p>\n
