Winter Energy Saving Tips for Your Home 

Because colder weather may impact the amount of natural gas you use, consider implementing these energy-saving tips where safe to do so:

  • Lower your thermostat to 68 degrees during the day and 58 degrees when you are away from home.
  • Reduce your shower and bath time. Showering and bathing can account for 40 percent of your home's hot water use. 
  • Operate your clothes washer, dryer, and dishwasher only when fully loaded. 
  • Unless a fire is burning, close your fireplace damper to prevent warm air from escaping up the chimney.
  • Do not use a pool heater. Instead, run your pool pump during the coldest part of the day to circulate the water and prevent freezing.
  • Customers in Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, and parts of Texas can take advantage of rebates on high-efficiency natural gas appliances, energy-saving devices, and weatherization upgrades. Click here to learn more about our SmartChoice Rebate program.
