Money Saving Energy Tips With home heating bills expected to surge an average of 30% this year conserving energy every day is still the smartest way to manage energy use and costs. Help lower energy costs by following some of the simple conservation advice outlined above. In addition, consumers can also visit the following websites for more information and tips on saving energy and controlling costs this winter:

With ENERGYguide, consumers can learn how to lower their energy bills by replacing equipment in their homes or businesses, changing energy use, or selecting a different electric or gas supplier. Consumers will also learn how their choices impact the environment.
The U.S. Department of Energy Web site provides a wide range of energy efficiency and conservation tips for homeowners.
The New York Public Service Commission Website offers consumers a number of ways to help control winter energy costs.
The Alliance to Save Energy, offers consumers information to help save money and increase comfort through energy efficiency.
The American Gas Association (AGA) provides consumers with resources to help them lower their monthly heating bills.

Home Heating Advice: As an energy economist many people ask me if they should switch to natural gas now to save money. The answer is an emphatic "NO", because natural gas prices are rising higher and faster than fuel oil prices for comparable BTU�s for heat and hot water. Natural gas supplies are short because the electric power plants now burn natural gas as well as fuel oil to meet the clear air regulations and environmental regulations have prevented the building the required off-loading need for natural gas that could easily be shipped from the Middle East and elsewhere.

I am often asked which direction oil and gasoline prices will go. My general response is that they will probably edge downward on the next two months depending on how cold the winter is. The reason is that people are driving less and the refineries are coming back online, airlines are cutting back on flights and the pipelines from offshore wells are gradually being repaired and are beginning to deliver crude oil to the refineries. We will also see increased shipments of gasoline and refined oil products from some of the Middle Eastern countries and of course as homeowners we are making efforts to reduce demand and as demand goes down, the price goes down.

Buy home heating oil from companies that specialize in buying on the "spot market" or perhaps try to find cheap oil purchased on the futures market many months ago.
