Save Energy with Propane During the Winter

Refill Your Propane Tank Early

Protect your family and prepare your propane-powered home to endure the colder months safely and comfortably. Many homeowners choose to enjoy the more efficient and comfortable heat that our propane provides.

Don’t wait until the cold weather hits to plan for the home heating season. Make sure to contact us here at Texas Propane to refill your propane tank early.

Double-Check Your Heating System and Appliances to Ensure Efficiency

Another way to save energy with propane during the winter is to check your heating system and appliances.  Have one of our qualified service technicians at Texas Propane inspect your home’s appliances and propane system.

Your home will conserve fuel, save money and avoid unexpected mid-season repairs when appliances are running as efficiently as possible.

Install a Programmable Thermostat

You can save around 10 percent per year on heating costs by using a programmable thermostat.

Resetting the programmable thermostat when your family is asleep or away from home saves money without sacrificing comfort.

Take Advantage of Sunlight

Taking advantage of the sunlight is another way to save energy with propane during the winter.

During the winter months, open the curtains and blinds during the day. This allows the sun to naturally heat your home.

Be Efficient with Water Heating

Water heating can be a significant energy expense, accounting for about 14 to 18 percent of most home utility bills.

Make sure your water heater is at 120°F or less. Also, install low-flow shower heads or temperature sensitive shower valves to reduce energy consumption and reduce your water heating bill.

These are just a few energy saving tips in the winter for those with propane tanks. Contact us with the link below for more information or to schedule your propane delivery today!
