Submitted by: anonymous  02/19/2009 8:48 PM
 
1. If you use a gas hot water heater:
  1. turn down the temperature

  2. wash your clothes in cold water

  3. shorter showers

  4. use the water miser feature on your dishwasher and your washer


2. Saving on your central heat
  1. turn down the thermostat, put on a sweater

  2. seal the leaks

  3. increase the humidity in your home, dry air feels colder

  4. if your family isn't home in the daytime, a programmable thermostat will really help--but even someone is there all day, you can use one to save while everyone is asleep

  5. most ideas for saving on your electric bill that have to do with heat will also help with your gas bill





3. If you have a gas clothes dryer:
  1. hang the clothes up to dry, if you hang them indoors in the winter, that will help with the humidity in the house also

  2. wear fewer clothes--if it ain't dirty, you can wear it again. hang it up to air instead of washing it

  3. if you wash two smallish loads, or hang up part of the clothes but want to dry other pieces--save the first load and dry it with the second load

Money savings for gas or electricity during winter or cool weather to help heat the home.

When you are finished baking something open the oven door to help warm the kitchen area. Same idea applies for the dishwasher, after the washer has completed the cycle open the door to distribute the heat in the kitchen area.

The person that turned off their gas over the summer, did you have to pay reconnecton fees? I don't think that you ould save that much on this method. I would say putting on layers of clothing would be a better, and easier solution. Your body will adjust to the lower temperatures. Running electric heaters all over the house to keep it warm could be dangerous.
