Holly Energy cost may be down, but if your one of the many who either locked in their rate during the summer or have lost a job and still need to save on your energy bill, then you may want to check out these weatherization tips. They should help you save some money every month on your heating bill or at least give you piece of mind over the winter months.
1. Change your Furnace Filter. This is probably the most effective and cheapest way to save money. A dirty filter will not work as well as a clean one, making your furnace work harder and use more electricity.
2. Check your doors and windows for drafts, use a candel to show you where the draft is. Of course make sure all doors and windows are closed and fans are turned off.
3. Insulate your attic, this is also a fairly inexpensive way to save on energy cost. Adding insulation can save you
4. Insulate exposed plumbing. Not only can this help water heat faster, but it will help to prevent the pipes from freezing.
5. Inspect your roof and gutters. This is always an area that can cause problems, if you need to replace shingles do it now also check the flashing to make sure water can not enter your home.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
