| To save money with your Union utility company, check your bill to see if you have optional services that you don't really need or use. Each option you drop could save you $40 or more each year. |
|
| Turn down your thermostat. For every degree you lower your heat in the 60-degree to 70-degree range, you'll save up to 5% on heating costs with the Union utility company. Wear warm clothing and set your thermostat to 68 degrees or lower during the day and evening, health permitting. Set the thermostat back to 55 degrees or off at night or when leaving home for an extended time saving 5-20 percent of your heating costs (heat pumps should only be set back five degrees to prevent unneeded use of backup strip heating). When you move, it is easy to connect Union utilities online. |

| Choose Energy Star® Products to save money with your Union utility company. Replace incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star® compact fluorescent light bulbs, especially in high use light fixtures. Compact fluorescent lights use 75% less energy than incandescent lights. |
|
| Make sure that the Union utility company has a license. Do this by checking with the state agency that regulates electricity. Connect Union utilities online. This protects you from dealing with fraudulent companies that take your money and run because they can’t legally do business in your state. |
|
| Install a programmable thermostat to save money with your Union utility company. You can save up to 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills by simply turning your thermostat back 10% to 15% while you are away during the day, on vacation or sleeping. Connect Union utilities online. |
|
| It's best if you organise for the Union utility company to come and read the meters on the day you move so that there are no argument about the readings. You will need to give them 10 days notice to do this before you move. Connect Union utilities online. |
|
| You can disconnect the phone on the day with the Union utility company to avoid paying anyone else's bills in case of an error but if you do this, let your buyer or your selling estate agent know so that they can take on the service without paying a connection fee.
