The wind chills may be scary, but your energy bill doesn’t
have to be. Here are some simple steps you can take to save money while keeping
your family warm.
- Dial it
down: Lower your thermostat when you’re asleep or away. Even a few degrees
can make a big difference.
- Seal cracks and gaps: Don’t let cold air creep in through poorly sealed windows
or doors. Use caulk or weatherstripping to stay comfortable.
- Replace
your furnace filter: Dirty filters reduce airflow and make your furnace use
more energy. Replace it monthly during the heating season, or buy a
high-efficiency filter than can last several months.
- Let the
sunshine in: Open your shades, blinds and drapes during the day to let in
the warmth of the sun.
You don’t have to sacrifice your comfort to lower your
energy bill. For more energy-saving tips, visit
