Air Sealing & Weatherization<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Air sealing is designed to prevent unwanted air flowing in and out of your home. Air leaks can occur at many penetration points around your home such as windows, recessed cans, doors to the outside, plumbing areas, and attic and crawlspace hatches. Tackle air sealing with a caulk gun and add weatherstripping around doors. Rebates are available<\/a> for electrically heated homes that have air sealing done professionally.<\/p>\n

Electric space heaters<\/h3>\n

Electric space heaters are a convenient alternative heat source, but do you know how much energy an electric space heater uses?<\/p>\n

Most space heaters use 1500 watts of energy. If you use an electric space heater 8 hours per day for a full month, the result will be 360 kilowatt-hours per month, costing approximately $38.<\/p>\n

Using multiple space heaters for several hours per day can cause a big increase in your electric bill. If you had a recent spike in your bill, think about when you used space heaters and how many hours per day they were operating. To investigate further, you can view your monthly, daily, and hourly electricity usage on your SmartHub account<\/a>. Using the SmartHub data portal, you can see when usage was up and compare that to what was happening in your home or business.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Electric Baseboard Heat<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Electric baseboard heat can be one of the larger energy users in your home. At 250 watts per foot, the usage can add up quickly. A home with 40 feet of baseboard on 8 hours per day will see bills of $252 per month for heating.<\/p>\n
