Top Tips to Save Money in NJ this Heating Season

1. Change Your Filters. Dirty filters in your home’s heating system result in dirty air in your home. They also restrict the system’s air flow, reducing your heating system’s efficiency by up to 15%.
2. Install a Programmable Thermostat. Installing a programmable thermostat in your home (and using it correctly!) can save you up to $180 in heating and cooling costs each year.
3. Set Your Programmable Thermostat. Setting it for an optimal temperature of 68 degrees while you are awake and at home and 10 degrees cooler than that while you sleep and are at work will result in big savings.
4. Tune Up Your Equipment. Annual maintenance on your heating equipment prolongs its life, prevents untimely breakdowns, protects your home from potential damage and increases your system’s efficiency.
5. Reduce Your Water Heater’s Temperature.  Water heaters usually come with a preset temperature of 140 degrees. Adjusting this preset temperature to 120 degrees will save you money.
