Heating costs can spike fast when winter hits hard in Fairfield County. Whether you live in Trumbull, Westport, or Greenwich, keeping your home warm shouldn’t break the bank. Here are proven ways to save energy and lower your heating bills without sacrificing comfort.
1. Schedule a Furnace Tune-Up
A well-maintained system runs more efficiently. Regular service improves performance and can catch issues before they become expensive repairs.
💡 Tip: Edgerton offers seasonal heating maintenance to keep your system running at peak efficiency.
2. Seal Air Leaks Around Doors and Windows
Drafty doors and windows let warm air escape and cold air creep in. Add weatherstripping or caulk to reduce heat loss and help your HVAC system work less.
3. Adjust Your Thermostat Smartly
Lowering your thermostat by just 1–2 degrees can reduce your bill by up to 5%. A smart thermostat can make this easy and automatic.
4. Don’t Block Vents or Radiators
Furniture, curtains, or rugs can block airflow, making your system work harder. Ensure all vents are clear for optimal heating.
5. Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient System
Older furnaces and boilers waste energy. If your system is 15+ years old, it might be time to consider a high-efficiency replacement.
🎯 Bonus: Ask Edgerton about rebates or financing options on new heating systems in Fairfield County.
6. Use Curtains and Shades to Your Advantage
Open curtains during sunny winter days to let in natural heat. Close them at night to trap warmth inside.
