Although Pro-Gas typically focuses on helping natural gas facilities improve their output, we figured since it was the season of giving, we’d do our part and help the facilities we work with spread energy-saving tips to the average consumer.
No matter how many people come through for the holidays, they are a busy time of the year and can leave homeowners with a hefty energy bill once the season is over.
Let us help you save a little cash this holiday season. Follow our 5 tips for saving natural gas while still enjoying this special time with your family and friends.
Wash Heavy Loads On Cold
The holidays often leave many of us opening our homes to traveling guests. This is usually a great time to be had, but also means that several loads of laundry are bound to get washed during a lengthy visit.
One of the most common uses of natural gas is to heat up water heaters for showers, dishwashing, and laundry. In order to save some energy this season, wash all of your major loads in cold water. It won’t hurt the average piece of clothing and is even beneficial for getting out those tough stains that may have accumulated during your holiday feast.
Bake Several Dishes at Once
If you’re hosting the holiday dinner, save some time and money with a little oven planning and schedule your temperature use around several dishes at once. This is not only a great way to save money, but also helps keep your busy kitchen in order and gets more food to the table, faster.
Host a Potluck Holiday
Another food preparation tip that could reduce your gas bill is to let your guests know that your holidays are going to be a potluck event.
This gives your oven a break and also allows your friends and family to showcase their favorite dishes at your dinner. Trust us when we say, this is a win-win for everyone involved.
Take Advantage of Your Fireplace
Although many homes have functional fireplaces, most homeowners prefer to turn up the thermostat to heat up a house. A traditional fire can be a great way to create an intimate holiday setting without breaking the bank.
Even if the fire is mainly used for looks, it will effectively heat up your home and put your family in the holiday spirit.
Plan a Holiday Lights Outing
If you are trying to save money on energy this holiday season, you may not have a house that’s decorated like the Griswolds. However, there are usually several areas throughout a community that purposely go all out to showcase their home decorations to the public.
Whether you bundle up and walk through these neighborhoods or pick up some cocoa and slowly drive through and enjoy the lights, this is a great way to save money on energy without sacrificing one of the favorite traditions of the season.
