Making your home more energy efficient before winter arrives will not only save energy, but will also save you money.
Routinely check your home for leaks and cracks, especially during the colder months. Windows and doors in your home can often leak air, keeping your furnace from effectively heating your home.
Unplug any electronics that are not currently in use. TVs, DVD players, coffee pots and toasters are among the appliances that continue to use energy even when not turned on.
Reduce your water consumption by installing low-flow shower heads. This inexpensive fix will cut the water usage from your showers in half.
Taking these simple steps can reduce your energy use and put extra savings in your pocket this winter.
