Propane Furnace

If you’re running a propane furnace in your home, you’re already taking advantage reduced cold spots when compared to electric heat pumps. To help your furnace run more efficiently, make sure to have it professionally serviced once per year, in addition to monthly cleaning of air filters.  Replace your air filters as soon as they are showing any signs of wearing.

 

Propane Water Heater

Water Heaters account for 20% of your home’s energy bills! Make sure you water heater is set no higher than 120 degrees, and after the five year mark, wrap your water heater in an insulated jacket.

 

Clothes Dryer

Running your dryer off propane will improve your energy efficiency as propane clothes dryers have a shorter drying time when compared to electric dryers.  They will also extend the life of your clothes as the moist heat helps keep your clothes looking better for longer.

 

Gas Stove

The majority of professional chef’s prefer cooking on a gas stove top rather than electric.  Propane stoves contribute to better fuel efficiency.

 

Programmable Thermostat


You can slash you monthly utility bill by using a programmable thermostat.  Set the thermostat temperature based on times when you are home, away or asleep. Once you set your personal preferences, you won’t have to worry about it again!

 

Once you’ve implemented these appliance efficiency tips, you can start looking at other opportunities within your home that can help save you money.  Check out the “Quick Home Fixes for Fast Winter Savings” or "How to Save Energy While on Vacation" for some ideas.
