Energy bills are going to be sky-high this year --that is, unless you are prepared!
10-Minute Energy Saving Tips will arm you with hundreds of easy, innovative ways to cut your heating
bills (and your cooling bills next summer!).
Tips include:
- Open curtains when the sun comes up to let the sun's energy in, but close them as soon as it gets dark to keep the warm air inside the house.
- Caulk around any old windows to prevent leaks.
- Close doors and lower heat in all zones you don't use every day, like the guest bedroom or the study.
- Invest in down comforters and wool blankets for the beds and turn your heat down you'll sleep better, and save on heating costs!
- Buy plastic sheeting and cover very drafty windows. It's inexpensive at the home improvement store, and it can save you a bundle.
- Replace your old storm door with a new one to prevent drafts.
- Lower the temperature on your water heater - this also helps to prevent scalding!
