WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) – The transition from summer to cozy fall days is here, and Atmos Energy has shared tips to help the community stay safe and conserve energy as winter approaches.
Atmos Energy said using energy wisely and making a few household changes can make a big difference in how much you spend on natural gas and other energy bills.
The following tips from Atmos Energy can help save both money and energy:
- When 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.
- 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.
- 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.
