7 Ways to Save Energy This Fall
Order a fall fill for your tank.
Having a full tank maintains better pressure, which means your appliances will run more efficiently. When your tank is low, the pressure drops, which can lead to inefficient fuel usage. Request a delivery today.

Install a programmable thermostat.
Wi-Fi thermostats are small devices that can deliver big energy savings. Program your thermostat to automatically lower the temperature while you are asleep or away from home, so you are only using heating fuel when you need it.
Warm up with cozy layers.
When you are on the fence about whether you need to turn up the heat, add a cozy layer first instead. Warm slippers, socks, and sweaters are perfect for the cooler weather and can change your comfort level before you need to adjust your thermostat.
Seal air leaks and drafts.
Check windows and doors for any air leaks or drafts. If you find any, seal them with weather stripping or caulk to prevent precious heat from escaping.
Use window treatments to your advantage.
Keep curtains on south-facing windows open during the day so that the sun can naturally raise your home’s indoor temperature. Make sure you close them at night for an extra barrier against the evening chill.
Adjust your water heater’s temperature.
Turning your water heater to the warm setting, 120 degrees, can help save energy and money without affecting the hot showers you love.
