20 Hot Tips for Energy Efficiency

Natural gas is a good solution for many comforts of home: heating, cooking and using hot water. But in the winter months, bills can add up as we crank up the thermostat while still using all of our other gas-fueled appliances. Here are some tips to help conserve energy and increase efficiency, which may help in keeping costs down.

Furnace

The number one money saver here is a programmable thermostat. According to ENERGY STAR, the average household spends more than $2,200 a year on energy bills - nearly half of which goes to heating and cooling. Homeowners can save about $180 a year by properly setting their programmable thermostats and maintaining those settings. Click here for information about purchasing a programmable thermostat, including the recommended settings.

Other tips for reducing your heating bill:

• Set the thermostat between 65 and 68 degrees (health permitting!) and wrap up in a throw or sweater.
• Keep air vents and registers clean and unobstructed by furniture or draperies.
• Close vents in unused rooms.
• On sunny days, use the sun to help warm the home by opening up curtain and blinds.
• Have your furnace serviced annually by a qualified contractor to ensure maximum energy efficiency. Southwest Gas maintains a list of licensed contractors, or call 1-800-654-2765 for a referral.

Oven and Stove

• Bring water to a boil with the lid on the pan to speed cooking time.
• Make sure the pan fits the burner to increase energy absorption, reducing the amount of heat lost.
• When baking or roasting, use glass or ceramic pans. You can turn down the oven temperature about 25 degrees and foods will cook just as quickly.
• Use the oven light to check on the roast or cake; each time you open the oven door, the oven loses about 20 percent of its heat.

Water Heater

• Set the water heater thermostat at the lowest temperature that still provides sufficient hot water. Southwest Gas recommends 120°F for most households. (If you have a dishwasher, check to see if you can use 120°F water. Follow the manufacturer's directions.)
• Replace showerheads and faucets with efficient, low-flow models.
• Wash clothes using cold or warm water, and rinse them in cold water. (Most washing machines have a setting for this option.)
• Only use dishwashers and washing machines for full loads.
• Every time you use the "rinse hold" setting on the dishwasher it uses up to seven gallons of hot water, so only use this feature when absolutely necessary.

Clothes Dryer

• Don't put clothes in the dryer that don't need it. Check the garment's label and line dry when directed by the manufacturer.
• Lighter materials that dry quickly may also be line or air dried; install wall-mounted collapsible dryer racks or use a free-standing rack.
• Separate lightweight clothes and heavier items (like sweatshirts and towels) for more energy-efficient drying.
• Remove and clean the lint filter in between loads to help the clothes dry faster, therefore increasing efficiency.
• Periodically remove any buildup of lint and dust from the dryer exhaust, the back of the dryer, and behind the lint screen.
