Peak winter often brings the coldest temperatures, and the highest energy use of the year. At True Natural Gas, we believe efficiency and comfort go hand in hand. With a few practical habits and home adjustments, you can stay warm while keeping energy use under control.
Focus on the Rooms You Use Most
Close doors and vents in rooms that aren’t frequently used so heat is directed where you need it most. This helps your system work smarter instead of harder.
Check Your Home’s Insulation
Proper insulation plays a major role in keeping heat inside your home. Insulating attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls can significantly reduce heat loss and improve overall comfort.
Reverse Ceiling Fans
Many ceiling fans have a winter setting that allows them to rotate clockwise at a low speed. This gently pushes warm air back down from the ceiling, helping rooms feel warmer without increasing thermostat settings.
Avoid Blocking Heat Sources
Make sure furniture, rugs, and curtains aren’t blocking vents or radiators. Clear airflow allows heat to circulate evenly and keeps your system operating efficiently.
Be Mindful of Hot Water Use
Hot water heaters work harder in winter. Taking shorter showers, washing clothes in cold water, and fixing leaks can reduce energy use and help lower overall costs.
Winter doesn’t have to mean wasted energy or rising bills. With thoughtful habits and efficient natural gas use, you can stay warm and comfortable throughout the season.
At True Natural Gas, we’re here to support our customers with reliable energy and helpful guidance, so you can focus on what matters most this winter.
