Fix Leaks: Gaps around your doors and windows can be hemorrhaging both warm air from your home and cash from your wallet. Inspect your door and window frames to make sure the seals are nice and tight.
Quick fixes for leaky windows include rubber weather stripping and insulated film. If your windows have cracks, however, it may be time for CT replacement windows. Small cracks can turn to shattered glass when temperatures reach below freezing.
Ducts: Examine the ducts that carry warm air from your furnace to the rest of the house. If there are any gaps between the ducts, you’ll want to have those sealed. Losing air to these gaps won’t just leave you feeling chilly; it can send your heating bill to the moon. Who wants to pay for warm air they don’t even get to use?
Lower Heating Bills: Here’s a quick look at a few simple ways you can save money on your heating bill this winter:
• Turn down the thermostat when not at home
• Keep the water heater temperature lowered
• Don’t leave fans on – even a small kitchen or bathroom fan can remove all of your home’s warm air in no time
• Clear heating vents of any blockage like rugs or carpet to ensure all of your heated air is making it into circulation
