BOO! It’s
almost Halloween, and you know what can be just as scary? Outrageous utility bills!
Fall is in the air, and with the economy being what it is, it’s time to start
thinking about saving on heating costs. Here are a few simple tips to help you
save this winter:
- Bundle up. Put on extra clothes when you get chilly instead of turning up the heat.
- Turn down the temperature on the water heater.
- Close windows and doors when the heat is on.
- Replace dirty air filters.
- Cover your windows when it gets dark to keep warm air inside.
- Hold a candle near doors, windows, and light fixtures, and see where the smoke goes. If you see it move horizontally, then you have an air leak.
- Replace weather stripping on windows and doors, and caulk any gaps that you find.
