AN ENERGY PLAN HELPS YOU SAVE

Making a few small changes can pay off over the long term. One of the smartest things you can do is to create an energy savings plan.

1. Arrange a regular delivery schedule with your supplier. If you’re not on a schedule, consider filling your propane tank before the start of the heating season. Don’t wait until it is empty.

2. Discuss payment plan options with your propane retailer. Some retailers will help you spread your projected annual cost over many months, balancing the costs of seasonally higher bills.

3. The federal government is offering a tax credit of up to $500 for qualifying energy-savings improvements made during the 2006 and 2007 calendar years. Tax credits are available for certain home improvements including high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment such as propane water heaters and furnaces.
