Knock the chill off your energy bill

Is your energy bill higher than you’ve seen it in a while? This is common during winter months when heating systems are working around the clock to keep homes at a comfortable temperature. Dominion Energy offers tips on how to reduce your energy use and manage your bill this winter.

Reduce Your Energy Use

When temperatures drop, energy use goes up.

During colder months, heating can account  for as much as 50% of energy use in normal weather (more in extreme cold): 

  • Keep your thermostat set at 68 degrees or lower. 
  • Limit the use of electric space heaters for supplemental heating 
  • Get an HVAC tune-up annually 
  • Change filters monthly or when dirty 
  • Set your water heater to "warm," or 120 degrees
Choose energy efficient appliances

Being home more means more energy use

Make the most of your energy:

  • Choose energy-efficient devices and appliances
  • Upgrade to ENERGY STAR® certified LED bulbs
  • Check ductwork for leaks/tears and repair as needed
  • Unplug devices not in use and consider using advanced power strips
