Happy National Savings Day!

Now, more than ever, reducing your energy costs is critical, and here at Spring Brook Ice & Fuel, we are doing everything we can to help — starting with these 5 FREE ways for you to save energy and money at your home.

  1. Check the temperature of your water heater. It should be set at “warm,” or a thermometer held under running water should read no more than 120 degrees. If it’s higher, lower the temperature setting on your water heater thermostat.
  2. Inspect your furnace filter each month, and clean or replace it as needed. Dirty filters block air flow through your heating equipment, increasing your energy bill and shortening your equipment’s life.
  3. Keep window coverings open during the day to let the warm sun shine in.
  4. Don’t let furniture and rugs block baseboard outlets, vents, or radiators.
  5. Dress appropriately for the cold weather, and set your home’s thermostat to the lowest possible comfort setting. On winter nights, put an extra blanket on the bed and turn back your thermostat even more.

At Spring Brook Ice & Fuel, our entire home comfort team is working very hard to help our Central Connecticut friends and neighbors reduce their fuel bills. Take a look at all of our cold weather conservation tips, then contact us for more ideas on how to conserve and save at your home!
