5 Easy Ways to Lower Your Heating Bill This Winter

5 Easy Ways to Lower Your Heating Bill This Winter

Winter months often bring higher energy bills, but there are simple steps you can take to reduce heating costs while staying comfortable in your home. At Budd’s Plumbing, we’re committed to helping homeowners in Cape May and Atlantic Counties save energy and money during the colder months. Here are five easy ways to lower your heating bill this winter, along with how we can help:

1. Seal Air Leaks Around Windows and Doors

Drafty windows and doors allow cold air to enter and warm air to escape, increasing the workload on your heating system. Sealing these leaks helps keep the warmth in and lowers your energy consumption.

How Budd’s Plumbing Can Help: We can help with seasonal tune-ups and system inspections to ensure your heating system is working efficiently and assist with sealing air leaks around your home.

2. Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance

Routine maintenance is key to ensuring your heating system is running efficiently. Changing filters, cleaning ducts, and checking for leaks can all improve your system’s performance and reduce energy waste.

How Budd’s Plumbing Can Help: At Budd’s, we offer heating maintenance services to keep your system in peak condition and ensure it's running as efficiently as possible, helping you save on heating costs.

3. Invest in a Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat allows you to set your heating system to run only when needed, adjusting the temperature when you're home or away. This helps avoid unnecessary heating and lowers your energy bill.

How Budd’s Plumbing Can Help: We can install a smart thermostat that automatically adjusts to your preferred settings, offering the perfect balance of comfort and energy savings.

4. Upgrade to a High-Efficiency Furnace

Older furnaces can be less efficient, causing your heating system to consume more energy to maintain the desired temperature. Upgrading to a high-efficiency model can drastically reduce your heating costs.

How Budd’s Plumbing Can Help: Budd’s Plumbing offers energy-efficient heating system installations with trusted brands like Trane to ensure your home stays warm without breaking the bank. Schedule a free comfort evaluation today to find the right upgrade for your home.

5. Add Insulation to Your Home

Insulation helps keep the heat inside by preventing it from escaping through your attic, walls, or floors. Proper insulation keeps your home comfortable while reducing the need for excessive heating.

How Budd’s Plumbing Can Help: While we don’t offer insulation installation, we can inspect your HVAC system to ensure it’s optimized to work with your home’s insulation. If you need recommendations for insulation contractors, we can help connect you with trusted local experts.
