How to save money on your Home's heating bill

As the weather gets colder, your home's heating bill can start to rise. But don't worry – there are plenty of ways to save money on your heating costs this winter. Here are a few tips from Euro Comfort Zone to help you lower your heating bill:

1. Set your thermostat to a lower temperature. Every degree that you lower your thermostat can save you up to 3% on your heating costs. So if you normally keep your thermostat set at 72 degrees, try turning it down to 68 or 69 degrees instead. You can also invest in a programmable thermostat, which allows you to set different temperatures for different times of the day. This can help you save money by turning down the heat when you're not at home.

2. Insulate your home. Proper insulation is key to keeping your home warm and your heating costs low. If your home is poorly insulated, heat can escape through the walls and roof, causing your heating system to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Adding insulation to your attic, walls, and basement can help keep the heat in and save you money on your heating bill.

3. Seal up drafts. Drafty windows and doors can let cold air into your home and cause your heating system to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Use weatherstripping to seal up any gaps around your windows and doors, and consider investing in draft stoppers or door sweeps to keep out drafts.

4. Lower the temperature of your water heater. Your water heater can account for up to 25% of your home's energy usage. By turning down the temperature of your water heater, you can save money on your heating costs. Most water heaters are set to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, but you can save energy by turning the temperature down to 120 degrees or even lower.

5. Service your heating system regularly. Regular maintenance can help your heating system run more efficiently, which can save you money on your energy bills. At Euro Comfort Zone, we offer annual maintenance services to help ensure that your heating system is operating at its best.
