| Title: | Save More on Heating Oil this Winter |
| When: | 10/09/2012 |
| Description: | Experts are predicting a harsh winter. The heating oil industry's Energy Communications Council has recommendations to save energy and lower heating costs: 1. Fill gaps around windows and doors with caulking. 2. Cover old windows with weather-resistant plastic sheathing. 3. Insulate your attic. 4. Wrap exposed pipes with proper insulation. 5. Replace manual thermostats with a programmable model and lower temperatures while at work or sleeping. 6. Open shades and drapes whent he sun is out to help warm your home, and close them when the sun goes down to reduce heat loss. 7. Eliminate gaps between your door and threshhold by adding a seal to the bottom of the door. 8. Close your kitchen vents, fireplace damper, and closet doors, and remove or cover air conditioners when not in use. 9. Move furniture away from heating elements; it can block heat from circulating. 10. Remember that hot water uses fuel too. Try to reduce consumption.
