With Fall here and winter’s colder weather not far behind, now is the time to think about what you can do to reduce the cost of heating and energy use in your home or business.

And if you need more incentive, federal and state utility agencies are also telling us this winter’s heating fuel costs (heating oil and natural gas) may be as much as one-third higher than last year.

Here are a sampling of tools and tips you can use to identify your heating and energy use costs and then do something to reduce them. Also included is a link to the LIHEAP Program that helps low-income residents pay energy bills.

If you have tips, resources and ideas for reducing heating costs that you’d like to pass along to others, just send them to: DHess@crisciassociates.com and we’ll spread them to others!
