Energy Saving Tips for Your Home

Propane Tanks contain clean burning fuel!  

Clean burning means efficiency and savings! 

Home Heating Tips:

  • Your heating systems should be scheduled for regular maintenance. Contact the propane company that supplies your propane or a local furnace repair company.
  • Using a propane tank which hold large volumes allow you to purchase propane at discount prices.
  • To save money on heating cost change furnace filters regularly. 
  • Use a good quality programmable thermostat.   There is no need for normal temperatures while you are away from home.
  • Caulking and weather-stripping stop drafts and will save on your heating bill.

Water Heaters Considerations:

  • Turning down your water heater thermostat.  130 degrees is adequate.
  • Drain your water heater according to manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Use flow-limiting shower heads. This alone will save significantly.
  • Leaky faucets?  Repair them!  Up to 3,000 gallons of water a year can be lost from a single leak.

Home Appliances Ideas:

  • Buy propane gas ranges with electronic ignition systems. 
  • All burners should be burning with a clean blue flame like this picture. Energy Saving Tips
  • Other types of flames that look differently indicate that maintenance or repairs are needed.
