Our area is experiencing colder temperatures these next few days, and we want to remind you of some ways to keep your home warm.

🔵 Let there be light—Keep curtains open on the south side of the house and closed on the north during the day to trap the warming sunlight.

🔵 Increase your home’s IQ—Install an ENERGY STAR certified programmable thermostat.

🔵 Steady as you go—Set your thermostat to 68°F. Turn it down even more when no one is home for several days.

🔵 Bundle up—Insulate heating and cooling ducts and repair any air leaks. Add insulation to your attic, crawlspaces and any accessible exterior walls.

🔵 Keep it clean—Change air filters monthly. Dirty filters force your heating system to work harder.

🔵 Seal it up—Caulk and weather-strip around windows and doors and install insulating gaskets to exterior light switches and electrical outlets to stop air leaks.

🔵 Family meals—Take advantage of the heat generated by cooking.

🔵 Close the damper—Don’t send warm air up the chimney. Make sure the fireplace damper is closed when not in use.

🔵 Decorate—Use area rugs if you have hardwood or tile floors to keep your feet warm.

🔵 Create breathing room—Keep weeds and debris away from the outdoor unit of your heating system.
