Looking to SAVE money this winter?  New homes that are built to Energy Star specifications can help save you money!  Try these energy saving tips as well… 

• Set your thermostat to 68 degrees or lower.
• Install a programmable thermostat and use it wisely to save on heating costs.  
• Check your HVAC air filters monthly and change as needed.
• Use space heaters with caution.  They can cost approximately $0.15 per hour to operate on a high setting. 
• Reverse the direction on your ceiling fans in the winter (clockwise position) to redirect the warm air from the ceiling level back into the room
• Unplug unnecessary items when not being used.  Especially electrical devices that continue to drain electricity even when off.
