- Go for an equal payment plan that is offered by propane providers. These plans will allow the provider to charge a consistent rate each month based on your average heating bills in a year. You’ll pay the same amount during the winter months (when the bills are usually higher) and the summer months (when the bills are usually lower).
- Hire a qualified contractor to service your gas appliances and furnace. This will help ensure the best energy efficiency and safety. Also see to it that you operate your appliances according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
- Hire a professional to do air sealing, such as weather stripping and caulking. Proper air sealing will not only reduce propane consumption but also help prevent serious safety and health hazards.
- Have a programmable thermostat installed and set it to precisely follow the usual routine in your home. With a programmable thermostat, you will get to adjust your furnace’s temperature and time settings according to a predetermined schedule. For instance, you can set your home’s temperature to lower while you are at work or while you’re sleeping, and then heat the room more when you arrive from work or when you wake up.
