Re: Saving Tips On Utilities
If you have the opportunity to increase the number of zones for your heating or cooling system, you can save a considerable amount of money over time.. yes, it will require a larger investment at first, but overtime it can save hundreds of dollars..
On some existing forced air systems, this can easily be done adding in zone valves. For hot-water based systems, it will require a bit more work.
Also, be sure that your thermostats are located in optimal positions. If you have zones that span many rooms, check each room to see what the temperature is. You may find that some rooms are really hot while others are cold. If this is the case, you may want to relocate your thermostat. The good news is, many new thermostats are wireless so you can move them around to see where you get the best results.
In the summer; make sure that sunlight doesn't shine on your thermostats.
