Do you have high energy bills during the cold months? Are you looking for ways to save money? It's all about strategy; from big tasks to small, simple everyday changes that anyone can do. Learn how to save money on your heating bills this season.
Big Tasks:
Air seal your home: Check the inside and outside of your home for cracks and air leaks around doors and windows. Caulking or weatherstrips will do the job.
Install a programmable or Wi-fi thermostat: These can automatically adjust the temperature in your home based on your daily activities; like reducing the amount heat when you're not home.
Insulate your attic: Heat rises and is lost through your roof. Check your attic for adequate insulation or have a professional conduct an energy test.
Simple Tasks
Adjust the temperature: Save up to 10% annually on heating costs by turning the temperature back 10-15% while you're away.
Close your Fireplace Flue: Keep it open if you have a fire going but close it when it's not in use. Having it open is like an open window where a lot of heat can escape.
Preventative maintenance: This is the best way to avoid your furnace stopping in the middle of winter and ensuring maximum efficiency while saving you money in the long run.
