Heating costs in Regina can skyrocket during a Saskatchewan winter. Here are five simple ways to lower your energy bills without major renovations.
1. Seal drafts – Use caulk or weatherstripping around windows and doors. A draft-free home can save up to 15% on heating.
2. Change furnace filters regularly – A dirty filter makes your furnace work harder, costing more in gas or electricity.
3. Use a programmable thermostat – Lowering the temperature by just 2–3°C at night can cut heating costs by 5–10%.
4. Close basement vents if unused – Heat rises, so redirect airflow where you need it most.
5. Insulate attic hatch and basement rim joists – These are often overlooked areas that leak heat.
