When you pay your utility bill, if you are like most people you probably just scan the front page for the amount you owe. You may notice that your utility bills vary from month to month. Understanding more about your bill may help you save money over time or give you clues on how you can lower your utility bill this season.
If your home uses natural gas to power the heating system, you may notice a monthly variance in your bill even if you keep the thermostat consistent. While some fluctuation is normal based on increasing usage throughout the country, major variations in monthly utility bills may be a clue that your furnace is not functioning efficiently. At Air Assurance, we make it easy to select and replace old heating systems. You may even be eligible for a Federal Tax Credit to help offset your cost. Our Local Utilities even offer their own rebates for replacing your furnace with newer, high efficiency models in order to offset the cost and provide lower energy usage.
Did you know that the price of energy fluctuates throughout the day? An easy way to save money on your monthly electric bill is to find out when the peak usage hours are and decrease your energy usage during these times. Many utility companies offer reduced rates for off-peak hours. Many factors can lead to overuse of energy in your home. Having a properly functioning air-conditioning system is one way to regulate your energy usage. A simple pre-season tune-up can save you big money in the long run. A qualified inspector can inform you if your cooling system is functioning properly. He or she may suggest that you install a programmable thermostat to save on cooling costs or inform you if you would benefit from other services like duct cleaning or insulation. Again, ask Air Assurance how your local utility companies are providing rebates for different energy upgrades to your existing equipment, or by replacing your old inefficient systems.
