5 Tips to Save on Energy this Winter

11/15/2018

To celebrate the first freezing day of the winter season, gear up for even colder days with these tips that will keep your home warm this winter and save you money. Not only will you be reducing your energy bill, but you will also be contributing towards a clean energy economy!

1. Turn down the thermostat at night
Turn down the thermostat 10 degrees at night, and opt for an extra sweater and some flannel sheets to stay warm at night. Don't have a programmable thermostat and want one for free? Schedule a no-cost home energy assessment to get a free programmable thermostat among many other energy saving measures.

2. Decorate for the holidays with LED string lights
LED lights use 75% less energy than incandescent lights- which translates to savings for your home! Upgrade your lightbulbs and save energy and money.

3. Get your home insulated
When is the last time your home was insulated? Cold air seeps through doors, walls, floors, the roof... or any other crevice you can imagine. Contact us to sign up for a FREE home energy assessment to see where you can make improvements!

4. Weather-proof your windows
30% of the heat in your home can leave just through the windows. Upgrade your windows or weather proof them for big savings.

5. Open the curtains!
Don't underestimate natural energy- sunlight! Keep your curtains open to have your home naturally heated and enjoy the sunlight.

Thanks for this advice for saving energy in the winter. I'm glad you mentioned you should try to get your home insulated so that cold air doesn't seep through the doors. It sounds important to try to figure out what the airflow is like in your home so you can find places where the air could be seeping in.

I loved that you said that you should turn down the thermostat about 10 degrees at night. The other day I was talking to my wife and we decided that it would be good to find an energy supplier for our home. We have decided that we would like to find ways to support our community while also helping the environment, so we are debating options for our utilities.

I like your heating tips. I need some heaters installed in my floor. My feet will freeze without them.

I agree. The thermostat is where it all begins with your home's heating and cooling system. When you set it, the thermostat triggers, regulates and monitors the climate control process in your home and helps keep your family comfortable.

The thermostat of an engine is a simple mechanism, but very practical as well as useful and necessary. This part of the vehicle fulfills the function of regulating the temperature of the engine and, through its radiator, controls the overheating of the engine.
