Long Island Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning Company, Abstract Mechanical Company Offers the Top 5 Ways to Lower Heating Bills in 2010.

    FARMINGVILLE, NY, January 09, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to Long Island Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning experts Abstract Mechanical, consumers can save a bundle on their home heating cost by using a few easy proven tactics. Abstract Mechanical offers customers the following tips:

1. Invest in a programmable thermostat. With a programmable thermostat, Long Island residents can adjust the heat on a fixed schedule. This allows one to decrease the temperature while sleeping or when a person is away from home.

2. Lower the thermostat. Just by turning down the degrees, Long Islanders can save between 5 - 10% off their heating bill. Home owners are also strongly advised to lower their heat whenever they plan to be away from home for a few hours.

3. Keep an eye on the water heater. It is unlikely that a person will notice a huge difference if they turn down the thermostat on a water heater - for example - 120 degrees from 140 degrees.

4. Never allow heat to escape needlessly. Many people have spent hundreds of dollars on heating the home because of drafts. Consumers are advised to keep their windows and doors tightly closed when the heat is on. Kitchen ventilation fans and bathroom ventilation fans should always be turned off when they are not needed. For those who have a fireplace should make sure the glass doors and flue is closed to help reduce heat loss.

5. Call a professional for a checkup. Residents are advised to never wait until something goes wrong to call a professional. Abstract Mechanical gives their customers thorough checkups to ensure their customer's heating unit operates efficiently. They advise customers with oil heaters and electric heaters to get a check-up from a professional annually and gas heaters every two years. Customers are also advised to check the filters in their heating system. Most people are unaware that dirty filters are a major cause of increased heating costs within a home.
