Turn down your thermostat

Turning your thermostat down by just 1% can save you approximately 3% on your heating bill. If you lower it by 3%, you can save up to 10% – now that should help with all those Christmas presents you have to buy! And, if you are traveling for the holidays, be sure to unplug your appliances and electronic devises. Even when they are switched off, they still use “phantom” energy (which can account for up to 10% of your electric bill).
