The New Year has arrived here in Buffalo and Rochester (and everywhere else, for that matter), and with it come this year’s round of resolutions. Why not make a few that will make your home life easier, safer, and more comfortable?
Here are six home comfort resolutions to make and keep for 2019:
- Buy with your conscience and values – When it comes to finding a propane supplier in Western NY State, you have many options – but only one is a certified Women and Minority Business Enterprise: Irish Propane.
- Treat yourself – There is nothing better than sitting by a cozy propane hearth – except possibly soaking in your propane-heated pool or spa. If you dream of making your home a comfy, cozy castle, propane can make it happen in 2019.
- Recycle – Has your property become a graveyard for old propane cylinders? Contact us for propane tank disposal and reclaim your yard space.
- Get energy smart – Commit to simple lifestyle changes that will make a big difference in your home energy bills. A few ideas:
- Swap your incandescent light bulbs for LEDs
- Use your programmable thermostat to drop temps six to eight degrees at night, or when no one is home; this could save you more than 10 percent on your energy bills.
- Install low-flow showerheads – Did you know that water heating accounts for about one-fifth of your energy use? Installing low flow fixtures could cut hot water use in half in your showers, bath, and sinks.
- Invest in insulation for your unconditioned spaces (attics, crawl spaces, etc.) and weatherization measures (caulking, weather stripping, and door sweeps) for your windows and doors.
- Commit to safety – If you don’t have carbon monoxide detectors installed at every level of your home, do it right away – these inexpensive fail-safes provide peace of mind, and could even save a life. Also consider installing propane leak detectors to prevent risks associated with propane odor loss – and be sure to review safety procedures with loved ones if you power your home with propane.
