Northwest Propane has compiled some fall energy-saving tips to help you reduce your annual home heating costs! As we transition from the warm season to the cold one, keep these ways to save in mind. Combine these options for even more energy savings and ultimate North Texas home comfort.
Switch to a High-Efficiency Propane Heater
Upgrading your old propane furnace or boiler to a high-efficiency heating system model will cut back significantly on your home heating bills. Studies show that you can save upwards of 30% on your propane heating bill by upgrading from an old HVAC system to a high-efficiency model and maintaining it properly[1].
Schedule an Annual Propane Heating Tune-Up
Booking a tune-up for your propane home comfort equipment will help you save throughout the year. Reduce your propane usage, lessen the need for repairs, and significantly diminish the chance you’ll need emergency service. We offer 24/7 emergency heating service to keep your North Texas family safe, but that doesn’t mean you want your furnace or boiler to have a mid-season breakdown.
Fill Your Propane Storage Tank
Some customers leave their propane tanks empty until the first snowfall, but that can do more harm than good! Empty propane tanks run the risk of collecting internal condensation, causing rusting and corrosion that’s invisible from the outside. Fill your propane tank to reduce the need to replace your LPG tank.
Insulate Your Home
Sometimes homeowners focus so much on heating and cooling their North Texas homes that they don’t realize that air is leaking out through their walls or ceiling! Be sure to have your home thoroughly insulated so you aren’t paying to heat all the air in Texas.
