Fall is here, so are falling temperatures!  Your heating system accounts for over 70% of your usage for an electrically heated home.  Here are a few quick energy saving tips to reduce your usage as the days get colder and shorter.

• Set your thermostat to 68°F or lower.
• Keep curtains open on the south side of the house and closed on the north side during the day to trap the warm sunlight.
• Make sure the fireplace damper is closed when not in use.
• Keep your feet warm by placing area rugs over hardwood floors.
• Close crawl space vents.
