One of the greatest benefits of using propane at home is having the flexibility to budget and plan propane consumption the way you want to. To get the most out of every propane refill, it’s important to follow some basic energy efficiency steps throughout the day and night. Here are some tips to help you use your propane efficiently from Budget Propane Ontario.

 • Manage Your Thermostat Carefully   - Most of your home’s energy consumption goes to heating and cooling your home. Adjusting your thermostat strategically can lower your heating and cooling costs, while also helping to conserve propane for use in other ways. Before you leave your home, conserve energy by dialing back your air conditioner or furnace. Turning down your HVAC system while you’re gone can help to avoid heating or cooling your home when no one is around. You can do this more easily by investing in a programmable thermostat that automatically regulates indoor temperature.

•Use Less Hot Water- Your water heater is another propane-intensive appliance, so using hot water more efficiently can help you go longer in between propane refills. Using cold water when washing your clothes, taking shorter showers, or limiting dishwasher use can help to reduce the heating burden on your hot water heater. Doing all of this will essentially reduce your propane consumption.

•Cook Efficiently- Finally, use your oven and stove efficiently when cooking meals at home. Avoid doing things like leaving burners on or allowing ovens to preheat for too long. Reducing the amount of time your range and oven are on can help to lower propane consumption, which allows you to accomplish more with every gas refill.
