Saving
Energy
Save Energy:
Heating and cooling your home typically accounts for about 44
percent of your utility bill. What's more, U.S. heating and cooling
systems emit more than half a billion tons of carbon dioxide each
year, contributing to global warming, and they generate large
amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, chief ingredients
of acid rain. You can significantly cut energy costs and use by
setting your thermostat low in the winter and high in the summer.
