Step 1
Turn your thermostat down by 10 to 15 percent, and shut off your heat when you are not at home. You will not notice much difference in terms of comfort, but you will see an improvement in heating costs.
Step 2
Keep the intake vent and air filter in your home clean. You should also periodically clean the output vents around your house. The less air you waste, the less gas you need.
Step 3
Use a grill with an automatic ignition. You waste a tiny bit of propane each time you light a manual grill, and this tiny amount adds up over time.
Step 4
Upgrade your equipment. Look for energy-efficient water heaters, grills and furnaces that use less gas for the same in-house results.
Step 5
Cook smaller portions of food. Smaller pieces of food cook more quickly, requiring less cooking gas.
Step 6
Switch your water heater for a tankless device. Tankless heaters only heat the water you use as opposed to heating water you might never use in a massive tank.
Step 7
Keep your propane tanks clean and well maintained. A propane leak is not only expensive, it’s a potential fire hazard.
