You'll save energy and avoid scalding your hands. <br/> &#8226; Wrap your hot water heater with an insulating blanket to prevent heat loss. <br/> &#8226; Switch your appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer) to the energy-saving setting. <br/>&#8226; Install a clock thermostat, and set it to automatically drop to a lower temperature at night <br/> &#8226; Replace old major appliances, especially your refrigerator and air conditioner. The latest models are much more energy efficient. <br/> &#8226; Keep your windows clean. Dirty windows don't allow full sunlight in to warm your house.<br/> &#8226; Tape a sheet of aluminum foil (shiny side out) to the wall behind radiators. This will help to make them more efficient. <br/> &#8226; Keep radiators (and registers in a warm air system) clean and dust-free so heat flows freely. <br/> &#8226; Turn your radiator valves either completely on or off. Opening them partially does not regulate a radiator's heat output. <br/> &#8226; Don't put anything on top of a radiator to block its heat output except a ventilated cover. Never block radiators with drapes. <br/> &#8226; Remember to caulk or weather strip doors and windows to seal out heat-stealing drafts. Don't forget about air leaking through switch plates and electrical outlets. <br/> &#8226; Insulate your attic or roof space. Doing so can cut heating costs by up to 30%. Plus, it will keep your home warmer in the winter. <br/> &#8226; Have an insulation contractor inspect your home. If it needs more insulation, cellulose can be blown into the walls to cut down substantially on heating costs. <br/> &#8226; Wrap insulation around pipes in your basement and crawl space to avoid heat loss.<br/> &#8226; Move chairs and beds away from exterior walls. These are usually the coldest walls in the house. <br/> &#8226; Use ceiling fans. They force warm air down, so you can set your thermostat at a lower temperature.<br/> &#8226; Keep the damper closed when your fireplace is not in use. Hot air escapes quickly through the chimney.<br/> &#8226; Install storm windows and doors to keep out drafts and help you save on heating costs. <br/> <br/><br/> <h2>SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR EQUIPMENT?</h2> Delaying the replacement of your heating and cooling equipment can cost more in the long run. Postponing the inevitable will usually result in costly repairs, maintenance and higher utility bills.<br/><br/> <h2>This guide shows the average life expectancy of common HVAC equipment.</h2> </div> <div style="float:left;width:250px;padding-left:200px;padding-bottom:10px;"> Equipment <br/><br/> Fans, ceilings<br/> Air conditioners, room<br/> Air conditioners, unitary<br/> Humidifiers<br/> Furnaces, electric<br/> Furnaces, gas <br/> Furnaces, oil <br/> Portable heaters <br/> Heat pumps <br/> Dehumidifiers <br/> Room heaters, vented gas <br/> Room heaters, unvented gas <br/> Water heaters, electric <br/> Water heaters, gas <br/> </div> <div style="float:left;width:80px;padding-left:15px;padding-bottom:10px;"> Low <br/><br/> 7<br/> 7<br/> 8<br/> 6 <br/> 9 <br/> 11 <br/> 13<br/> 8 <br/> 6 <br/> 9 <br/> 7 <br/> 13 <br/> 6 <br/> 5 <br/> </div> <div style="float:left;width:80px;padding-left:15px;padding-bottom:10px;"> High <br/><br/> 18<br/> 16<br/> 19<br/> 13<br/> 20<br/> 23<br/> 23<br/> 13<br/> 21 <br/> 13<br/> 18<br/> 23<br/> 21<br/> 13<br/> </div> <div style="float:left;width:80px;padding-left:15px;padding-bottom:10px;"> Average <br/><br/> 13 <br/> 12<br/> 13<br/> 10<br/> 14<br/> 17<br/> 18<br/> 11 <br/> 14<br/> 11<br/> 13<br/> 18<br/> 14<br/> 9<br/> </div> <div style="float:left;width:900px;text-align:center;background-color:#962733; color:#FFFFFF;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:10px;"> <h2>Reliable Electric - We'll "Bee" There</h2> 5082 Lafon Ln.
