GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Believe it or not, winter is almost here. The cost to heat your home this year may be more than what you’re used to.
Green Bay residents may find themselves looking for ways to save on their energy bill. Wisconsin Public Service spokesman, Matt Cullen, says residents should have a professional inspection of their heating system and change the filter on their furnace at least once every 3 months to ensure it’s running as efficiently as possible.
Another way to save; While the occupants of your home are sleeping, or are away from home for a bit, you can turn the heat down by 7-10 degrees from where it is normally set.
“A recommended temperature setting during the winter months is 68°,” said Cullen. “But we understand that each customer is a little different and everybody is going to set their thermostat at a different level.”
