No matter what fuel your automatic central heating system uses, it still requires electricity to run the fan motors that make warm air flow through your home. If filters are dirty or clogged, these motors work overtime, which causes unnecessary wear and uses more electricity. Draw your drapes at night They help insulate your windows, and your house, from the cold night air. Keep your thermostat at a comfortable setting Turning it up won’t help heat your home any faster. It only wastes heat as the temperature rises above the normal comfort level. It is suggested that the thermostat setting be turned down during sleeping hours. Check your water heater temperature setting With a recommended setting around 150 ’ you’ll get water hot enough for all your house* hold needs. And you'll have a better chance of keeping your water heater working at maximum efficiency and economy. Higher temperature settings may cause faucet washers to wear out faster. Fix leaky faucets A leaky hot water faucet makes your water heater work overtime. So you waste gallons of hot water, and electricity, too. Use electricity wisely Remember to turn off lights in rooms you’re not using. Turn off the TV, radio and stereo when nobody’s paying attention to them. Close fireplace damper when fire Is out Be sure there are no embers still smoldering, then close fireplace damper. Heat can easily escape up the chimney when damper is open. Glass doors on your fireplace can also help reduce heat loss. Pacific Power Where they make the electricity that makes things nicer for everybody.
