Energy use changes seasonally
When it’s cold in the winter and your heating system runs, or when it’s hot in the summer and your air conditioning runs, your bill will be higher.
Your bill is at its lowest in May and October, because you typically use less energy in those months.

Control your heating costs

• Have heating system serviced annually.
• Clean or replace filters monthly.
• Find the coolest comfortable setting. (Recommended: 68°F in winter.)
• Install a programmable thermostat.
• Take advantage of sunlight.
• Weatherize doors and windows.
• Ensure duct work is sealed and insulated.
• Insulate your attic, walls, and crawlspace.
