Understanding how to conserve energy can make a big difference in your monthly oil bill.  In the past, with oil prices being as low as they were, it was easy to overlook just how much oil we were wasting due to, and not limited to, failed annual equipment servicing, poor insulating, etc... 

We have put together a few tips to help you save during the coldest months.

1. Keep your thermostat at a constant level while you are at home.  A setting of seventy degrees Fahrenheit will provide a comfortable room temp for you and your family. Keep your thermostat down during the day if no one is at home, and also at night when you are sleeping. Programmable thermostats can do all this for you, call us today for a great price on one completely installed. 

2. Locate all drafts coming from under the doors, windows, and chimneys. Maintained weather proofing will take care of loss of heat, and extra consumption of heating oil.

3. Service your furnace on a annual basis, make sure filters and air ways are kept clean. Dirty filters restrict airflow and increase energy use.
