Programmable thermostats can save up to 20% off your heating costs.
The average U.S. household will pay $873 in heating bills this winter. A programmable thermostat is designed to adjust the temperature according to a series of programmed settings that take effect at different times of the day. |

Consider utilizing a humidifier to make your home feel warmer and more comfortable.
When the temperature plummets outside, so does the relative humidity inside your home. Dry air not only absorbs moisture from your furniture, causing it to crack and age prematurely, but it also dries out your skin and can cause breathing problems such as asthma and bronchitis. |

What is
Geothermal.
Your own backyard has the
potential to be an energy source for heating and cooling comfort. Outdoor air
temperatures fluctuate throughout the year with the changing seasons. In
contrast, ground temperatures about four to six feet below the Earth's surface
remain relatively moderate and constant all year. That's because the Earth
absorbs 47% of all the heat energy that reaches its surface from the sun. A
geothermal system circulates a water-based solution through a buried loop
system to take advantage of these constant temperatures. A single piece of
equipment has the ability to heat and cool your home, while providing some or
all of your home's hot water as well. Geothermal systems can save you 30% to
70% on your monthly utility bills.
