Seal Cracks and Gaps
Heat escapes quickly through cracks and gaps in your home's exterior. To prevent this from happening, seal any cracks or gaps with caulk or weatherstripping.
Add Insulation
Adding insulation to your home is a great way to keep heat in and lower your heating costs. There are many different types of insulation available, so be sure to choose the right one for your needs.
Make Use of Natural Sunlight
During the day, open up your curtains and let the sunshine in. The sun will help heat your home naturally, saving you money on your heating costs.
Keep Your Thermostat at a Consistent Temperature
One way to save money on your energy bill this winter is to keep your thermostat at a consistent temperature. When the temperatures outside fluctuate, it can be tempting to turn up the heat. However, by keeping your thermostat at a consistent temperature, you'll use less energy and save money.
Keep Your Vents Open
Did you know that leaving your vents open in the winter can actually save you energy? Believe it or not, this is one of the best ways to keep your home warm without turning up the heat. One of the main reasons why keeping your vents open in the winter is a good idea is because it helps to circulate the air in your home.
