Heating season is upon us and heating costs are going up! Here are a few tips to cut costs:
Insulating windows with heavy plastic will also help keep the cold air out. Investing in heavy curtains can help to keep the warm air in and cold air out. Door sweeps alone will not keep the cold air out; try keeping an old towel under any doorways in unit.
·
If you have a programmable thermostat, you can lower your heating bill by keeping the temperature at a reasonable degree when you are home and dropping it 2 to 4 degrees lower when you are not home.
·
This is extremely dangerous! If you suspect your heater is not working, call the maintenance department or your property manager right away.
·
If you pay for your own heat, you can turn your thermostat on at your convenience. Make sure you turn the thermostat from COOL to HEAT if you have central air/heat.
·
Remember if your gas or electric has been shut off by the utility company, there is nothing CPM can do about no heat. It is your responsibility to settle any unpaid utility bills.
