Those who use electricity for heating were projected to see an even steeper jump of 12.2%, with the average bill swelling from $1,090 to $1,233, the group found.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Millions of households are being pushed deeper into utility debt and closer to shutoffs simply because they cannot afford to keep their homes warm,&#8221; Mark Wolfe, executive director of NEADA, said in a statement.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo what recourse do Americans have, knowing comfort comes at a cost? Here are some tips on how to save money on your utility bill:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Get a home energy audit. <\/strong>An inspector can help you detect where cold air might be seeping into your house and recommend energy efficiency improvements. Audits are performed by certified home energy auditors, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/about\/federal-tax-credits\/home-energy-audit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">energystar.gov<\/a>. Look to local government agencies or your utility company for home energy assessment tips.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Tackle obvious leaks. <\/strong>Justin Castronova, a lead inspector at First Choice Inspectors in Illinois, told CBS News consumer correspondent Ash-har Quraishi that the best place to start is with doors and windows. Castronova recommends using caulk to seal gaps, maintaining weather stripping for doors and windows, and using spray foam around electrical outlets (make sure to turn off your power first).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Invest in energy-efficient appliances<\/strong>. That can save you from $10 to $50 a month, depending on the size of the appliance and how many you have, Castronova said.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Insulate your home<\/strong>. This will ensure the envelope of your home is fortified against the cold weather. Energy Star, an energy-efficiency program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency, has a handy DIY <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/saveathome\/seal_insulate\/do-it-yourself-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">guide<\/a> on how to get started.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Look into state, federal and nonprofit assistance programs. <\/strong>For example, the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program <a href=\"https:\/\/acf.gov\/ocs\/programs\/liheap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">provides<\/a> financial assistance to low-income households to weather-proof their homes and even deal with energy-related home repairs. The best way to find out what you qualify for is to call 211, which connects people with health and human services resources.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alain-sherter\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alain  Sherter<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/home-heating-bill-winter-save-money-2025\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising energy costs are adding to the affordability issues facing millions of U.S. consumers, with nonprofit group PowerLines recently estimating<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[1585,7219,1057,7358],"class_list":["post-62310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-money-watch","tag-electricity","tag-homeowners","tag-oil-and-gas","tag-utility-bills"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Facing high home heating bills this winter?
