Tips to Lower Your Natural Gas Bill

Small behavioral changes throughout the year and energy efficient home upgrades can help you save money on your natural gas bill.

• Use a programmable thermostat to turn the temperature down when you are away from home or asleep. CFU offers a 100% cost-share rebate, up to $100, for smart WiFi enabled thermostats that can do this automatically.
• Let the sun work for you. Keep curtains and blinds open on sunny winter days, especially on the south side of your home. Closed curtains can also double as insulators at night.
• Check window latches, secure all doors and turn off ventilation fans after use to prevent heat from escaping unnecessarily.
• Consider the cost or necessity before using gas fireplaces or garage or bonus space heaters.
