If you always keep your thermostat at 67 degrees, it takes more energy to reach that temperature when it\u2019s colder outside.<\/p>\n<p>The average temperature in January 2017 was 33 degrees. This is down eight degrees from the January 2016 average temperature. That is also two degrees colder than the average December temperature. December 2016 (35 degree average) was six degrees colder than the December 2015 average (41). The drop in temperatures creates a spike in energy usage.<\/p>\n<p>Typically this will add about 12-15% to heating costs. That amount could be higher if you have a heat pump that relies on an electric furnace for emergency heat. Homes that aren\u2019t well insulated or that have leaky windows &amp; doors will see a higher increase as well.<\/p>\n<p>We offer rebate programs for insulating your home and upgrading your windows.<\/p>\n<h3>Learn More About Winter Energy Use<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"internal-link\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crpud.net\/customer-service\/high-bill-concerns\/how-does-cold-weather-affect-your-bill\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn how cold weather affects your bill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"internal-link\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crpud.net\/ways-to-save\/at-home\/efficiency-tips\/saving-energy-in-winter\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find free and low-cost ways to reduce your energy use and cut your bill in winter months<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"anchor-link\" title=\"\" href=\"#top\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"i-have-a-heat-pump---i-thought-they-were-energy-efficient-\" name=\"i-have-a-heat-pump---i-thought-they-were-energy-efficient-\"><\/a>I have a heat pump \u2013 I thought they were energy efficient?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>An electric heat pump is one of the most efficient home heating systems you can choose.<\/strong> However, when temperatures drop below 35 degrees, heat pumps must rely on back-up heat (also known as Auxiliary Heat or Emergency Heat) to properly warm your home.
