Energy Savings Tips

Cold Room or Remodel

Is there a room in your home that never seems to warm up? Cadet heaters are ideal for supplemental heat, such as chilly bathrooms or cold spots. Instead of warming the entire house, select one of our energy efficient zonal heaters and enjoy instant warmth without the high costs of a whole-house system. Our heaters are also great for additions and remodels where ducting isn’t present.

Other Energy Saving Tips

Another great way to save energy and heating costs is to reduce the amount of heat that escapes from your home. There are many inexpensive products that can help. Energy efficient windows, sufficient insulation and sealing air leaks are among the most important issues when taking a whole-house approach to energy savings. By combining proper equipment maintenance and upgrades with appropriate insulation, air sealing, and thermostat settings, you can cut your energy use for heating and reduce environmental emissions from 20% to 50%.a

Energy Star Thermostats

Energy Star rated thermostats can save up to 30% on your heating bill if used properly. These energy efficient thermostats can be programmed to automatically adjust your home’s temperature settings, allowing you to save energy while you’re away or sleeping.

Here are a few programming tips for maximizing your energy savings:

  • When programming, always set the temperature back for a minimum of 8 hours when away from home or asleep.
  • Each 2-degree decrease for an 8-hour period is equivalent to a 2% savings.
  • Maximize the 8 hour temperature set back by reducing the temperature setting 8 to 10 degrees from your preferred comfort setting.
  • Use the manual mode to set and hold the temperature down 8 degrees or more while on vacation.
