Now is the time to prepare for the changing seasons in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Temperatures tend to fluctuate a lot in the spring, which can be expensive if you don’t have a budget friendly plan in place to conserve money and energy. Reducing your energy use at home is easy when you’re a Great Valley Propane customer. With our help, you can make the most of your home’s energy budget this season. We have seven tips to help you save energy and lower your bills.
7 Tips to Save Money & Energy in the Spring
- Inquire about our budget program for the next heating season. Contact our office to learn about how our budget program can even out utility bills.
- Sign up for automatic delivery for more effective fill-ups and lower annual energy costs. We use the traditional degree day system, or a remote gauge monitor we can add to your tank, to track your fuel level.
- Change your home’s HVAC filters. According to the U.S. Department of energy, simply replacing a dirty, clogged air filter with a clean one can reduce your air conditioner’s energy consumption by 5-15%.
- Get a programmable thermostat. Switching from a manual to a programmable thermostat can help you achieve better indoor comfort, greater convenience, and noticeable savings every year.
- Use window treatments to your benefit. Keep window treatments open to let natural light brighten your home. On extra warm days, close your window treatments to block too much heat from entering.
- Grill your food. Cooking on your stove or in the oven can raise your home’s indoor temperature and make it uncomfortable. Instead, cook outside on a propane grill to keep your home comfortable and still enjoy a delicious meal.
- Fill up dishwasher & washing machine loads. The more dishes and clothes you fill these appliances with, the less water is needed. Additionally, use cold water in your clothes’ wash or rinse cycle to save on water heating bills.
