Shut off pilot lights in the off-season
Gas-powered wall heaters use a small pilot light. Though necessary in winter, they burn continuously in warmer periods too, wasting gas and costing about $6 per month. Today, challenge yourself to call your local gas company and schedule a time to have your pilots turned off.

I recently removed my pilot water heaters. I replaced them with a tankless heater, therefore heats water on demand. I also turned off my pilot light lanterns outside my home. My gas bill this month is 26.56 from an average $70. This is the lowest yet. I think I will frame this statement. It was pleasantly shocking. I had to double check the name on the statement to make sure it was indeed my bill.

I always turn the pilot light off on my furnace for summer months. I also check to make sure hot water heater is set to medium, saving money on hot water.
