Save Money this Holiday Season by Saving Energy

With over four generations of experience, Petri Plumbing has been around long enough to know that the holidays take a toll on our wallets. From gifts for family and friends to a mile-long grocery list, holiday expenses pile up quickly. The last thing you want putting strain on your holidays is a high utility bill because of an outdated thermostat in your home.

Technology advancements have paved the way for a new generation of home thermostats that control your interior climate more efficiently. As Brooklyn and Manhattan’s first Green Plumbers USA certified company, we always encourage our customers to move towards more energy efficient practices within their homes. Servicing or replacing your thermostat could result in huge energy savings and knock down the cost of your bills.

Did you know that heating your space makes up for 45 percent of your energy bills? By installing an energy-efficient, programmable thermostat, you can save a substantial amount of money.

Here are just a few tips to save money during the holidays by using a programmable thermostat:

• You can lower the temperature of your home 10-15 degrees during the eight hours you are at work or asleep.
• If you are having a holiday party at your house, the body heat from a large group of people will allow you to reduce the temperature and conserve energy.
• While traveling this holiday season, your thermostat can be programmed to a lower temperature during the days you will be gone.
• If your programmable thermostat is more advanced, the temperature can even be set from a smartphone. This is beneficial if you forgot to adjust the heat before leaving for work or vacation.

At Petri Plumbing, we are more than just a Manhattan and Brooklyn plumber. We provide you with the best service, installation, and instructions on how to program specific thermostats. Staying warm this winter shouldn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.
