Cool Down Your Winter Bills

  • Turn down your thermostat by 10-15 degrees at night or when the home is unoccupied.
  • Close the fireplace damper and check to make sure all vents are unobstructed.
  • Quickly and easily insulate your windows by installing window film. Find these online or at your local home improvement store.
  • Set your fan to winter mode by turning it down clockwise and running it on slow speed.
  • Going on vacation? Turn your hot water heater off at the breaker. Why heat water if you're not home to use it?
  • If you have a room you rarely use, close off all vents and shut the doors. his saves you from paying to heat an uninhabited area.
  • Use a door draft stopper or rolled up blanket to stop drafts under external doors.
  • Open your curtains during the day, but close them at night. Check your ductwork. Are you heating the outside?
  • Replace your current lights with LED bulbs and insulate any canned lighting.
