Trying to keep your home comfortable without breaking the bank on heating or cooling?
While nothing beats air conditioning or gas-powered heating for fast results, there are plenty of ways to lower that energy bill and still maintain a cozy temperature.
Here are some ideas to help!
- Programmable Thermostat — It might cost a little upfront, but a programmable thermostat can save you money in the long run and help keep your home consistently comfortable.
- Close Your Flue — If you have a fireplace, make sure to close the chimney flue when it’s not in use. Leaving it open lets heat escape straight out of your house.
- Move Furniture — Ensure no furniture is blocking air vents. Blocked airflow wastes energy and makes your HVAC system work harder to maintain the temperature.
- Use a Door Sweep — If drafts are sneaking in under your doors, install a simple door sweep to block the gap. It’s affordable, easy to install, and highly effective.
- Use Your Drapes — Open drapes to let in free heat from the sun or close them to block out the heat on warmer days. It’s a quick, easy way to control the temperature in your home without spending extra on utilities.
Hope that helps!
