Save Energy and Money This Fall:
Cooler temperatures, Halloween, and Thanksgiving are upon us. Here are some practical energy-saving tips for the fall season:
HVAC Pre-Check
With fall arriving at the end of September, get your HVAC system a pre-season check-up by a licensed HVAC contractor. UGI makes it easy to find a licensed contractor and schedule an appointment.
Set the Scene for Movie Nights
Consider using sensors, dimmers, or timers on lights to help reduce lighting use. Lower the thermostat and grab a blanket - cozy layers save energy while keeping you warm.
Reverse Ceiling Fans
Reverse ceiling fans to clockwise at low speed to push warm air down into living spaces.

Year-Round, Every Day Energy Tips by Room

Whole House
- Easiest way to start saving is to turn off all fans and lights in unoccupied rooms or when you no longer need them.
- During the heating season, open the drapes and take advantage of the sun’s warmth and give your heater a break.
- It takes more energy to pump air into a space where the vents are blocked, unblock vents where possible.
- Use a smart thermostat to program your schedule to adjust the temperature while you are sleeping and away.

Living Room
- Install a smart power strip on your electronic entertainment centers to cut down on unnecessary plug load.
- Unplug your phone/watch chargers when they are not in use.
- Use a ceiling fan so you can turn down your AC, but be sure to turn it off when you leave the room.

Bathroom
- Take a 10-minute shower instead of a bath to save water and money on your heating bill.
- Install a properly sized ENERGY STAR® vent fan to control moisture in the air while you shower.
- Install low flow shower heads and faucet aerators to conserve water.

Laundry Room
- Save energy by giving your dryer a break and hanging your clothes out to dry.
- Clean your lint trap between each dryer load to maximize air flow and efficiency of your dryer.
- Wash full loads with cold water whenever possible. If you must wash partial loads, reduce the level of water appropriately.
