Propane Users- If you haven't already, consider switching to a propane water heater. Over time, propane water heaters can cost up to one-third less to operate and they recover hot water twice as fast as similar electric water heaters. (Superior Propane)

Do not resort to using a BBQ or camp stove for heat. Such equipment is designed to be used only outdoors and present significant safety hazards when used in any enclosed or partially enclosed setting. Besides the obvious fire hazard, they can produce high levels of carbon monoxide (CO). Remember that you cannot smell or see CO.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. Carbon monoxide can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death. If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention immediately

The numbers are in. On average, we'll spend $2,535 per household this winter to heat with oil, $954 with electricity and $732 with natural gas, says the Energy Information Administration. Would it be cheaper to just burn dollar bills for heat? Instead receive a professional energy audit, with blower door testing and efficiency testing of your appliances. Save Money- Go Green!!!

Fireplace Energy Tip- Keep it shut. Traditional fireplaces are an energy loser - it's best not to use them because they pull heated air out of the house and up the chimney. When not in use, make absolutely sure the damper is closed. Before closing the damper, make sure that you don't have any smoldering embers. If you decide not to use a fireplace, then block off the chimney with a piece of rigid insulation from the hardware store that fits snugly into the space (dampers don't shut fully without some leaking).

Consider changing your old thermostat to a programmable one. You can save up to $100 a year by using a new sset-back thermostat. Set your thermostat to 78 degrees when you are home and 85 degrees or off when you are away. Using ceiling or room fans allows you to set the thermostat higher b/c the air movement will cool the room. (Save: 1 - 3 percent per degree, for each degree the thermostat is set above 72 degrees)
