Turn your thermostat down to 62 at night

Yikes, my fiancé would kill me, and isn’t it less efficient to change the thermostat than leave it at a constant rate? Sure it would use less fuel but then it would burn more to bring the house back up to temp.

I have forced air but it's definitely much cheaper to let it go down to 62 at night and come up to 68 again in the morning.

I believe PGW will also give similar advice

You can also call PGW and have them do average billing for you to spread the cost across the whole year keeps your bill mostly flat. Pay more in summer than you currently do but less in winter to make budgeting easier.
