101 Low Cost/No Cost Home
Energy Saving Measures brochure
Home energy costs are rising as the temperature drops this winter as heating your home puts upward pressure on energy usage. To help consumers reduce their home energy bills and help the nation reduce overall energy use, Broad River Electric Cooperative offers the following no-cost/ low-cost tips on smart energy practices and energy-efficiency home improvements this winter.

  • Set thermostats to 68°F
  • Run ceiling paddle fans on low, blowing up in winter.
  • Change HVAC filters monthly.
  • Have your HVAC system serviced once per year by a NATE-certified technician.
  • Make sure drapes and shades are
    open to catch free solar heat in
    the winter.
These tips and many more are published in the 101 Low Cost/No Cost Home Energy Saving Measures brochure available by request at Broad River Electric Cooperative location in Gaffney (811 Hamrick Street) and Boiling Springs (5535 Highway 9, Suite B). As a non-profit, member-owned utility, Broad River Electric Cooperative strives to be a consumer advocate for the people that use the energy we distribute.
