DTE Energy says customers can take simple steps to keep their energy costs down this winter

• Replace your thermostat with a programmable model. Save up to $180 annually by programming it for the season. The recommended settings are 68 degrees during the day and a degree or two lower at night for comfort and efficiency while you are home.

• Save up to $200 a year by sealing air leaks around your home to keep heat in and cold air outside and adding proper insulation. Add caulk or weather stripping as necessary to seal leaks around windows and doors.

• Inspect and replace your furnace filter at the start of the season and at least every 3 months to ensure your furnace can work at peak efficiency.

• For customers who need help paying their energy bills, DTE offers several payment assistance programs. Contact DTE at 800.477.4747.
