Energy Saving Tips

  Even a slight window crack can waste energy. Replace cracked glass.

  Check for air leaks around windows, doors and electrical outlets. Repair weather-stripping and fix leaks.

  Install storm windows, or cover the outside glass with polyethylene sheets.

  Keep your fireplace damper closed when not in use.

  If you have ducts in your attic, make sure they're insulated.

  If you have an attached garage, keep the garage door closed as much as possible.

Energy Saving Tips

  Remove air conditioning window units or cover them well.

  Seal off your attic circulating fan with polyethylene sheets.

  Keep baseboard outlets clear of rugs and furniture.

  Remove dust and dirt from radiators for maximum heating efficiency.

  When no one is home, turn the thermostat down about 8 degrees.

  Turn down the thermostat on your water heater.

  Keep your feet warm. If your feet are cold, your whole body can feel cold; so make a point to use socks & footwear around the house in the winter. If you’re still feeling cold, you can also bundle up in a sweater or a blanket rather than cranking up the heat.

  Tap heat that’s there anyway. There are plenty of activities we do around the house that generate warmth, like cooking or taking a shower. When you shower, keep the bathroom door open so steam spreads to other rooms, and don’t turn a ventilation fan on, because it will remove the warm air you’re hoping to keep in your home.

  Have a high-efficiency boiler installed, such as an NTI or QHT.

  Have your heating system professionally inspected before the winter season begins. Proper maintenance will help your heating unit run more efficiently.

  Install a ceiling fan to help circulate air within a room.
