Q. Will smart devices such as Nest help me save on my energy bill?
A. Programmable thermostats can save you money if you use them properly. Typically with a gas furnace if you program in a setback of 5 degrees when you are at work and while you are sleeping you will use less energy in the month. With a Heat Pump you would need a special thermostat that would not bring on the electric backup heat when coming out of setback or you would use what you just saved to get the house back to temperature. In summer, avoid increasing the temperature for work and sleep times during extreme weather because the AC will take a long time to get back to your ideal comfort conditions.
Q. Who are these people who keep pestering me about switching from Duke to some other gas provider?
A. They are alternate fuel providers that may be able to save you money on the Natural Gas you use to heat your home. They sell you the NG at a fixed rate over the year. Duke sells you the NG at different prices thru the year based on their actual cost at the time of delivery.
