Save Energy, Lower Costs & Improve Comfort
Recent increases in crude oil prices and the downward turn in our national economy have thousands of Marylanders looking for ways to lower their monthly energy costs. Kero-Del is proud to offer the following helpful tips to help you get the most out of every dollar you spend heating and cooling your home
Adjust Your Thermostat
Heating and cooling are among the largest energy expenses in most homes. A programmable or smart thermostat can help reduce energy usage by automatically adjusting temperatures when you’re away or asleep.
Replace Air Filters
Dirty HVAC filters restrict airflow and force your system to work harder. Check filters regularly and replace them every 1–3 months to maintain efficiency.
Seal Air Leaks
Prevent conditioned air from escaping by sealing gaps around doors, windows, and other openings. Weatherstripping and caulking can improve comfort and reduce energy waste.
Switch to LED Lighting
LED bulbs use less energy, last longer, and can significantly reduce lighting costs compared to traditional bulbs.
Use Appliances Wisely
Run full loads in dishwashers and washing machines, wash clothes in cold water when possible, and unplug electronics when they’re not in use to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
Maintain Your HVAC System
Annual maintenance helps your heating and cooling equipment operate more efficiently, reducing energy costs and extending system life.
Reduce Water Heating Costs
Set your water heater to 120°F, repair leaks promptly, and consider installing low-flow fixtures to conserve both water and energy.
