Applying these Conservation Tips The costs for natural gas are expected to be higher this winter. Your local utility company has likely given you some energy conservation tips. Below are some easy tips from Southwest Gas to help save energy and money and manage costs this heating season: • Set the daytime thermostat between 65°F and 68°F, health permitting, and the nighttime temperature at a lower setting. Every degree that a heating system is adjusted affects its daily energy use and, in turn, a customer's energy bill. • Regularly change or clean air filters as required. Heating units use less energy and work more efficiently when filters aren't clogged or dirty. • Kitchens are particularly vulnerable to excessive warming, especially from the extra heat generated by cooking. Adjust the kitchen vents, if you have them, until the room is comfortable.

• To help keep warm air inside the home and the cold air out, seal leaks and cracks around doors, windows and other openings with caulk or weather stripping. Proper insulation and sealants can help save up to 20 percent on heating costs annually. • Curbing the use of non-essential natural gas features, including pool and spa heaters, Tiki torches or other decorative fire features, can help conserve natural gas.
