Save Money and Stay Warm!

This winter, save money and stay warm. Keep your energy bill and your pollution output low this winter by taking a whole-house approach to heating.

• During the heating season, keep the draperies and shades on your south facing windows open during the day to allow the sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.
• Insulate the floor of your attic. Heat always flows from warmer spaces to colder spaces, and that's why you should insulate your attic. Consider adding insulation in unfinished basement walls and crawlspaces too.
• Install a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust your home's temp setting when you are away or sleeping.
• Replace furnace filters regularly and properly maintain and clean heating equipment.
• Weatherize your home—caulk and weatherstrip any doors and windows that leak air.
