Here\u2019s How You Can Save Energy Over Thanksgiving<\/span><\/h2>\n

Every year, American natural gas usage spikes over Thanksgiving. Furnaces work overtime to keep homes warm, and ovens are kept running for hours to get that turkey cooked to perfection. Nobody wants to cut back at Thanksgiving, but there are some clever ways to <\/span>save on your natural gas bill<\/a> this November. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reduce Natural Gas Usage With A Smaller Turkey<\/span><\/h3>\n

Few turkeys are finished off on Thanksgiving. In fact, most families seem to spend the next few weeks eating up leftovers – turkey sandwiches, turkey pie, turkey casserole, anything to use up the spare bird in the fridge. Instead, why not opt for a smaller turkey<\/a> on the day? It\u2019ll cook far faster, cutting down on the amount of natural gas you use, and you certainly won\u2019t have to go hungry. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do More With Your Natural Gas<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don’t cook side dishes<\/a> separately. If you\u2019re running the oven for a few hours, it makes sense to cook as much as possible at the same time. Throw in your potatoes, stuffing, and other side dishes to cook while the bird\u2019s roasting. You\u2019ll find that this saves oven time and <\/span>helps to conserve natural gas<\/a>, <\/b>a perfect way to save a few dollars this holiday season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Save Gas – Make Sure Your Cooker Is Up To Scratch<\/span><\/h3>\n

All gas-powered appliances are given an energy efficiency rating. This is displayed on a yellow Energy Guide sticker<\/a> that tells you the approximate annual running cost, and the appliance\u2019s efficiency. Older, outdated models <\/span>tend to use far more natural gas than newer ones<\/a>, leading to higher gas bills. Currently, there is no residential ovens, ranges, or microwaves qualify for the Energy Star rating<\/a>. However, even if your stove has been working perfectly for years, it may be worth replacing it with a newer\u00a0model that uses much less natural gas<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make Washing Up Easier And Cheaper<\/span><\/h3>\n

This may surprise you – dishwashers use a lot less water than hand-washing does. Energy Star certified machines can <\/span>use half the energy that washing by hand does<\/a>, and if your home\u2019s boiler is natural gas powered then this means a saving on your natural gas bill. <\/span><\/p>\n

Make The Most Of Your Home\u2019s Natural Gas Heating<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve got the whole family coming round, you\u2019ll want your home to be the perfect temperature all evening. Human bodies tend to put out a lot of heat so when you’ve got everyone gathered ’round, you can turn down the thermostat by a few degrees<\/a>. Not only will you save energy but you’ll also keep your guests comfortable. We also recommend checking out a few of our <\/span>tips for keeping your natural gas furnace working efficiently<\/a> this Thanksgiving.<\/span><\/p>\n
