Energy and money saving tips for the winter!

Eastern Air Flow of Ky Money saving tips
Here at Eastern Air Flow of Kentucky we are all about helping you save money, so here are some helpful tips for this winter to help cut down on your power bill!
We currently serve in and around the following cities in Kentucky; Richmond, Campton, Salyersville, Pikeville, Hazard, Ashland, Lexington, Prestonsburg, and Paintsville.
  • Turn your thermostat down to 68 to 70 degrees. For every degree you lower your heat in the 60-degree to 70-degree range, you'll save up to 5 percent on heating costs
  •  Replace or clean furnace filters as recommended. Dirty filters will restrict airflow and increase energy use. Now is also the time for a furnace "tune-up." Keeping your furnace clean, lubricated and properly adjusted will reduce energy use, saving up to 5 percent of heating costs.
  •  Reduce hot water temperature. Set your water heater to the "normal" setting or 120-degrees Fahrenheit, unless the owner's manual for your dishwasher requires a higher setting. Savings are 7-11 percent of water heating costs.
  • Seal up as much as you can. You can a start by caulking leaks around windows and doors. Look for places where you have pipes, vents or electrical conduits that go through the wall, ceiling or floor. You can check the bathroom, underneath the kitchen sink, pipes inside a closet, etc. If you find a gap at the point where the pipe or vents goes through the wall, seal it up. Caulk works best on small gaps. Your hardware store should have products to close the larger gaps.
  •  If you have rooms that aren’t in use, shutting off the vents on those rooms and shutting the door can help with the time and energy it takes to heat up your home or office.
  •  Adjust your door thresholds. If you can see outdoor light under your door you're letting out the indoor air you've paid to heat. If the door is not in contact with the threshold, the air is going right under the door. Some thresholds have 4-5 screws that let you adjust the height and close the gap. Turn the screws counterclockwise to lift the threshold until the outside light is mostly gone. A little light in the corners is okay, but don't raise the threshold so high that it interferes with opening and closing the door. The door should not drag on the threshold or it'll wear out the weather strips.
  •  The downside to fireplaces is that when they're not in use, your warm indoor air is escaping through chimney. Even when the chimney flue is closed, some warm air is probably still getting away. An easy solution is to block the airflow with an inflatable chimney balloon.
  • Unplug your electronics. When you keep electronics plugged in and on stand by, you're wasting almost 10% of your residential electricity.
