Saving Money with an Envi Heater

Heating is a primary requirement for almost all households in US during winters. The heating cost has increased quite significantly over the years due to the increased fuel prices. However, by taking certain steps, you can work towards reducing your heating costs. By using highly energy efficient Envi heaters, you are taking the first step towards saving money on heating cost. Envi heaters make use of dual stack convection technology that gives it incredible energy efficiency. The Envi heaters use low-wattage technology with power consumption rating of only 475 watts. Thermal regulation and auto cut-off feature allow you to maintain certain temperature, without overheating, which helps in lowering energy consumption. Following tips on usage will let you save even more:

1) Reduce your thermostat setting to around 68 degrees during the day time or evenings. Every degree of thermostat reduction leads to a saving of five percent on the heating cost. You can wear slightly warm clothes at home, which will allow you to reduce temperature to around 68 degree. During the nights, you can reduce the thermostat setting to around 55 degrees. A programmable Envi thermostat can be useful in this regard as it will automatically reduce or increase the temperature as per predefined conditions.

2) Turn off the heating when leaving the home for slightly longish duration or reduce the Envi thermostat setting by 10-15 degrees. This will let you save significantly higher in terms of energy cost.

3) Improve the insulation of the house. The heating system will be more effective if the house is well insulated. Better insulation will not allow generated heat to escape the house easily, and will also not allow cold winds to flow inside. Make sure all the leaks around doors and windows are properly sealed. Check for leakage around the vents, electrical conduits or pipes that pass through the wall. You can also use windows and frames that are optimized for higher degree of insulation.

4) Most people spend majority of their time in a single room of the house. If you have such habit, then getting yourself a space heater for that particular room will be a handy choice. This way you do not have to pay for heating all the rooms while you use just one. This can assist in cutting down heating bills significantly. Envi whole room electric panel heaters are cut out for this job and they are highly energy efficient as well.
