Smart TIPS

Insanely Clever Ideas!
Stay Warm & Save Money This Winter!
1) Seal gaps and cracks. Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal openings- even the smallest ones can let cold air in.
2) Insulate! Check your cellar and attic, two often overlooked areas that let heat escape and drafts in. Adding more insulation can save you a significant amount of money on your heating bills.
3) Get a programmable thermostat. Another big money saver- you can set it to lower the heat while you sleep or while you ' re away- which can yield big savings!
4) Set ceiling fans on reverse. Change the setting to clockwise at a low speed to push the rising hot air back down into your room, ensuring an even heat distribution.
5) Invest in insulated curtains. They not only provide warmth, but also add an extra layer of insulation by trapping heat inside.
6) Protect Your Pipes- Frozen pipes can be costly and damaging. Insulate pipes, especially those exposed, like ones in a basement or crawl space, to prevent freezing.
7) Maintain your heating system regularly. Replace filters monthly to keep it running efficiently. Consider booking a professional service to check it out every fall to ensure the system is working optimally and prevent unwanted breakdowns.
