Question: Is There A Way To Reduce My Utility Bills?

The first step you should be taking is to lower the use of appliances, lights, etc., in your home. You can also invest in a programmable thermostat, which will allow you to set your furnace to a lower temperature at night or when you are at work during the day. Lower temperatures will reduce the overall energy used to maintain a consistent temperature. The high-efficiency furnaces will also help you save money compared to the mid or standard-efficiency furnaces. The latest high-efficiency furnaces can be up to 97% efficient, compared to the standard and older furnaces which are only 55% efficient.

If your system is running efficiently, it can save you money on your utility bills. Here are a few steps to follow to ensure your furnace is operating at an efficient level:

• Clean or change your air filters regularly
• Maintain the thermostat at a consistent temperature
• Vacuum debris and dirt off your unit

Question: What Are The Benefits Of A Programmable Thermostat?

Programmable thermostats are available in different types, and each offers its own set of features. Since these thermostats are electronic, these units are more efficient and accurate when compared to the older units that contain mercury. The programmable thermostat allows you to change the temperature settings for different times in a day without touching the thermostat. Because everything is automated, you no longer have to worry that you forgot to change the temperature setting.
