Saving Money on Natural Gas During a Brooklyn Winter
Serving Brooklyn Since 1906
Winter is nearly here in Brooklyn. Savvy homeowners will want to take steps to save as much money on natural gas heating costs as possible. A professional plumber can help.
Winterize your home
First off, why spend money heating the outdoors? Be sure to seal your home against drafts and leaks by using caulk and weather-strip to seal your windows. Then make sure your water heater is properly insulated. These simple steps will save you money in the long-run.
Heating system tune-up
Call the experts at Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning to inspect and tune up your natural gas heating system. We’ll identify any system problems before it’s too late and can advise you on whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective option.
If your home has a boiler than is more than 15 years old, it might be time to upgrade it. Older boilers are as little as 50 percent energy efficient. They simply can’t compete with new models, which are up-to-98 percent energy efficient. Instead of throwing away half the money you spend on heating monthly, you can use it to pay off the investment in a new boiler within a few winters.
Other tips
Here are some two last recommendations to help get you through a Brooklyn winter as inexpensively as possible:
- Check your heating system filters monthly.
- Insulate any exposed plumbing pipes or pipes that back up against exterior walls to protect them from the cold.

We can’t say enough about the great job that Will did clearing out our clogged tub drain…after trying to snake it out and having no luck, he used the water blaster (?) and kept trying and finally succeeded…Will was great!👍
Great experience with Petri! Started with Faison who came earlier in week and gave me estimate and did some quick fixes for free. Then Josue and Will came to replace my water heater. They walked me through the process , tagged all my plumbing for me and let me record videos to
