Progress Energy
Heating and air
• Write this tip on your calendar: Change or clean your
A/C’s air filters at least once a month.
• Does your house have poor circulation? Open interior
doors and vents to make the most of your cooled and
heated air.
• Got porous block walls? They’re drafty. Injected Wall
Foam Insulation keeps outside air outside and Progress
Energy offers up to $200 in rebates.
• BYO heat? Portable heaters are great for “spot” heating,
but don’t overdo it. Running a 1500-watt resistance heater
24/7 costs $100 month.
• The most-efficient duct system isn’t in your attic. If you’re
building a house, consider running ducts through air
conditioned space instead.
