Set the thermostat to a comfortable 68 degrees during the day and lower while sleeping or when away from home. A programmable or smart thermostat can automatically lower the temperature to maximize savings.

Check doors and windows for drafts. Caulk around windows and replace old weather stripping around doors to keep cold air out.

Safety Tips to Remember

Keep an eye out for snow and ice accumulation on natural gas equipment, such as meters, regulators and vents. Excess snow and ice should be carefully cleared from natural gas equipment and appliance exhaust vents – with a brush or broom, or your hands, instead of a shovel.

Have carbon monoxide detectors on every level of your home and within ten feet of any sleeping areas. Just as you do with smoke detectors, check and replace batteries in CO detectors, too.

If there is an odor of natural gas in or around the premises, evacuate and immediately call 911 and us from a safe place. Dominion Energy considers it an emergency if customers smell an odor of gas or if none of their natural gas appliances are working.
