Summer is the time to throw open the windows, break out the short-sleeved shirts, and get your New York home ready for warm and hot weather. Check out these simple money-saving tips you can use this summer to make the most of your energy budget.
Switching from a manual to a programmable thermostat can help you save on your energy bills. Set the indoor temperature higher during periods when you’re not home or at night when it cools down to conserve energy.
On sunny days, keep window treatments open to let natural sunlight brighten your home instead of electricity. On very warm days, close your window treatments to block heat radiating from the sun, keeping rooms at a cooler temperature and your A/C running less frequently.
Keeping your tank filled over the warmer months is important for your tank’s health and safety. Steel tanks are susceptible to condensation, rust, and leaks in warm weather. Schedule a delivery from your Bioheat® fuel provider to help ensure your tank stays in good shape this summer.
Summer is a great time to talk to your fuel provider about price protection or monthly payment plans. Spreading your energy costs throughout the year can reduce the stress of winter heating bills.

If it’s been a year or more since your last heating system tune-up, book one with your HVAC servicer this summer. A professional cleaning and inspection will help your system run more efficiently, lower your energy bills, and even extend the life of your equipment.
An A/C tune-up will help your system run at its maximum efficiency, keeping your home cool with less energy. Plus, cleaning or replacing your system’s filter allows air to flow through your system properly. A blocked filter causes your system to work harder to keep your home cool.
