what can customers do to manage their winter heating costs?
In addition to the bill credit, PSE&G offers suggestions for steps customers can take to help reduce their winter heating costs even further:
-
Lower your thermostat by just one degree, which may reduce your heating bill by up to 3 percent. Save even more by lowering your thermostat 2 degrees during the day and 5 to 10 degrees at bedtime if health conditions permit. Clean or replace the furnace filter on hot air heating systems.

If your budget permits, install (or have installed) a programmable thermostat that you can set to automatically lower room temperatures when rooms are not in use and also at bedtime if health conditions permit.
