An opportunity to save money while staying warm and comfortable this winter

With winter fast approaching, now is a good time to consider a few tips to improve energy efficiency in your home and stay warm – and possibly lower your monthly energy bill. 

• Drop the temp – Lower your thermostat two degrees to save energy during the colder months. Even better, consider installing a programmable thermostat. 
• Invite the sun – Let Mother Nature help warm your home for free. Open blinds, curtains and drapes during the day to take advantage of the sun’s rays. 
• Seal the leaks – Break out the caulk gun and fill in those areas around doors and windows where the cold air can sneak in. 
• Prepare the system – Make sure your furnace or heat pump is ready for the work to come. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for replacing the filter. You may also want to consider having a professional technician give your system a thorough checkup. 
• Kill the chill – Get cozy and throw on a sweater and some warm socks. An extra blanket on the bed may feel nice, too. 

And remember, spring will be here before you know it.
