Heating costs to rise this winter across regions
Heating costs have increased in recent years and are expected to be higher this season. Natural gas and electricity users face steeper bills as utilities shift to natural gas for power. Home weatherizing, sealing cracks, and installing programmable thermostats can cut costs, while lowering thermostats by a degree or two offers long term savings.
Pay Bills Promptly With a Bill Payment Center
Chatzky recommends paying bills as soon as they arrive rather than delaying. Set up a bill payment center with stamps pens and checkbook, then pay daily and mail next day. Consider online payments and automatic reminders, and monitor accounts for timely delivery.
