Save Money Heating Your Home

Autumn is in the air - ringing in a beautiful blend of cooler temps and nature's colors. Autumn is a great time to start preparing your house for Winter. Try these tips to save your money and feel more comfortable as colder weather approaches.
Use a heavy-duty, clear plastic sheet on a frame or tape clear plastic film to the inside of your window frames during the cold winter months. Make sure the plastic is sealed tightly to the frame to help reduce infiltration. Install tight-fitting, insulating drapes or shades on windows that feel drafty after weatherizing

When you are home and awake, set your thermostat as low as is comfortable.

Add caulk or weatherstripping to seal air leaks around leaky doors and windows. Seal the air leaks around utility cut-throughs for pipes ("plumbing penetrations"), gaps around chimneys and recessed lights in insulated ceilings, and unfinished spaces behind cupboards and closets
