Be smart about your thermostat

Lower the setting on your thermostat to 68 or as low as is comfortable, and maintain that temperature setting during the winter. Your heater has to work harder when temperatures are frigid, so lower temperature settings can lead to savings. Stay warm by wearing layers and adding extra blankets to beds.

Seal air leaks

Use weather stripping or caulk to seal any cracks or gaps around windows, doors and thresholds. Also check your ceiling – make sure that fans and light fixtures are properly sealed to the ceiling to prevent the air in your home from escaping into the attic.

Ensure you have adequate insulation in your attic. This helps keeps warm air in your house, rather than allowing it to escape into the attic. Contact us for more information about insulation and ways to save energy.
