Follow these easy energy-saving tips to keep your bills from rising when the temperature drops.
-
Cover drafty windows with heavy-duty plastic or insulating curtains.
-
Dial down the thermostat — at least 68 degrees or lower when away or sleeping. Make it easy with a smart thermostat.
-
Seal air gaps around windows, pipes and other unfinished spaces.
-
Open the drapes to let in the sun’s warm rays during the day, and close them at night to keep the chill out.
-
Set your water heater temperature to 120 degrees, and wash laundry on the cold setting when possible.
-
Check and replace your HVAC filters every three months.
-
Set your ceiling fans to spin clockwise and push warm air down from the ceiling.
