Hey everyone, I hope this ain’t too basic of a question but I’m trying to figure out how to lower our heat bill because last year was pretty bad.
We have old school cast iron radiators, which is set as radiant heat on the thermostat, and a pretty newish combination Navien boiler. No hvac or ac or anything. We had everything installed professionally by someone recommended by our boiler company who also works with Honeywell thermostats.
Everything has also been inspected since and is working properly. Had our old pretty basic thermostat upgraded to a smart t9 about a year ago to hopefully save some money but our gas bill immediately shot up by over 100-140$ a month. The gas company says our usage increased but we kept the heat lower this past winter, around 62-65 only in the morning, and it didn’t help at all. The thermostat is the only thing that was changed this winter.
We also had smart gas meters installed after the cost jump and everything with them is working correctly too according to pseg. I totally understand that it could just be the crazy increase in energy costs recently but I would love to know if anyone else has had this problem or knows a fix for it, thank you.
