ME THE CHIU
OUT OF WINTER
HEATING BILLS.
With winter just around the corner,
WTU has these suggestions for
lower energy bills.
Have heating equipment checked
seasonally by a qualified
serviceman and check the filter
once a month.
Set the thermostat
at 68°
or lower.
Check for adequate insulation
in the attic. R-30 is
recommended.
Caulk and weatherstrip around
IP \ windows and doors to help prevent
excessive heat loss.
Tightly close the damper in the fireplace when not in use.
Open drapes and blinds during the day to let in sunlight and close
them at night to hold in warm air.
For a more comfortable home and an electric bill that won’t give you a
chill this winter, contact your local WTU office for more conservation tips.
