Save on Heating Bills!
By: Jake | September 15, 2008 | Category: Home and Family
Fall begins next week and winter will be here before you know it. Joanne showed us last week the cost of heating oil is rising and there are sure to be other high heating costs this winter no matter what fuel you use to heat your humble abode.
A good place to learn about how you can save on heating costs is the new Energy Savers blog. The blog was launched by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy of the (surprise!) U.S. Department of Energy this month as a way to communicate with citizen's about consumer-related energy topics.
In September and October the Energy Savers bloggers are writing about "winterization"—topics to get you ready for the upcoming heating season. In one of their first posts on "winterization," they recommend that you conduct an energy audit where you inspect your house for drafts, correct insulation levels and heating unit filters.
Also, the Federal Trade Commission offers a website that shows you how to save on energy costs in every room of your house. What do you plan to do this winter to save on heating bills?
