Keeping your home warm and comfortable during the winter doesn’t have to come at the expense of high energy bills! Taking a few easy steps to stay warm and cozy as cooler weather rolls in can make a big difference for energy savings.
Here are a few of our best tips for getting the most out of your winter heating.
- Utilize natural heat. Open curtains during the day to let sunlight naturally warm your home, and close them at night to retain heat.
- Weatherstrip and caulk around doors and windows to reduce drafts. Fixing air leaks is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to improve comfort and reduce energy use.
- Install door sweeps. Adding door sweeps to the bottom of exterior doors can block cold drafts.
- Install a smart or programmable thermostat to easily adjust your home’s temperature based on your schedule. Visit our website to see if you qualify for a $50 incentive!
