DO NOT LET UNPAID BILLS ACCUMULATE. SEEK HELP EARLY!
• Call a social service agency in your area to see if they have an assistance program, such as your church, the Catholic
Church, Salvation Army or United Way. Call them weekly or as suggested.
• Understand how and why you were short this month.
• See if you qualify for additional services, such as area Food Pantries. This may free up money for rent and utilities.
When you require assistance, most agencies will need:
• Proof of income and monthly expenses
• Proof of address, such as Photo ID and copy of current bill.
TIPS:
• PLAN AHEAD. Consider budget billing and ask utility companies if you qualify for any low-income or special
programs.
• Pay your bills on time to avoid late fees.
• In the summer, set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible. The less difference between the indoor and
outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be. Try setting it at 78°.
• Using fans can help create an air flow that will make your home more comfortable. If you use an air conditioner, a
ceiling fan will allow you to raise the thermostat setting about 4° with no reduction in your comfort.
• If your air conditioner is old, consider purchasing a new, energy-efficient model. You could save up to 50% on your
utility bill for cooling. Look for the ENERGY STAR® and EnergyGuide labels.
• Limit the use of your oven in the summer months. Use lids when cooking.
• Don't place lamps or TV sets near your air-conditioning thermostat. The thermostat senses heat from these
appliances, which can cause the air conditioner to run longer than necessary.
• While running the air conditioner, keep the window coverings closed during the day to keep out direct sunlight.
• In the winter, keep the draperies and shades on your south facing windows open during the day to allow the sunlight
to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.
• In the winter, set your thermostat as low as is comfortable when home. By resetting your programmable thermostat
from 72 degrees to 65 degrees for eight hours a day (for instance, while no one is home or while everyone is tucked in
bed) you can cut your heating bill by up to 10 percent.
• Weatherize your home — caulk and weatherstrip any doors and windows that leak air. In the winter, use heavy
plastic on windows to keep out drafts.
• Replace furnace filters regularly. Keep equipment clean.
• Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use.
• Consider air-drying clothes on clothes lines or drying racks.
• Lower your water heater’s thermostat to WARM/LOW or set at 120°. Your water heater accounts for 14% of your
utility bill.
• Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load. Periodically inspect your dryer vent to ensure it is not blocked.
• Consider a simple budget for your household. Evaluate expenses and set priorities. (Examples: Free TV vs. Cable or
Satellite; one telephone line vs. land-line AND cell phone)
