Here are some helpful tips on how: A central heating and air conditioning system can be anywhere between 40 and 55% of your average monthly electric bill Use LED holiday lights, they - are at least 75% more efficient and last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent lights. Be aware of your use of exhaust fans in your kitchen and bathroom, they pull the hot air that rises to the ceiling out of your home. You can save approximately $200 each year by using a space heater and setting your thermostat to 62 degrees. Open your blinds and let sun in to warm your home during the day. Use heavy blinds at night, don't let the heat escape. Make sure the area by your furnace is cleared out. A programmable thermostat will help lower and raise the heat depending on the time of day. Maintain your HVAC system to get the best use out of it. Turn ceiling fans on clockwise to push warm air back down into the room. Brought to you by The BP Group, www.bpgroup.com
