The winter chill is here! Keep your home cozy and save on energy bills with these five simple steps.
1. Set Your Thermostat Efficiently:
Lower your thermostat by 7-10 degrees while you’re asleep or away from home to save up to 10% on heating bills (Source: U.S. Department of Energy).
2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts:
Clogged gutters can lead to ice dams, causing damage to your home. Regular cleaning improves drainage efficiency and protects your roof (Source: NAHB).
3. Check Insulation:
Proper insulation in your attic and basement can reduce heating costs by up to 20% (Source: U.S. DOE). Consider adding more insulation if needed.
4. Seal Windows and Doors:
Drafts can waste energy. Seal any leaks around windows and doors to keep warm air in and reduce energy loss (Source: U.S. DOE).
5. Test Carbon Monoxide Detectors:
Ensure detectors are functioning to protect your home from dangerous gas leaks during the winter months.
