Fall and Winter Home Hacks

1. Use the sun to your advantage. If your windows face south, sunshine can be a free source of warmth all winter long. Throw open those curtains or raise up those blinds and let the sun warm your home. Conversely, close the drapes and lower blinds as a barrier to the cold when the sun goes down.

2. Close the fireplace dampers when the fireplace is not in use.

3. Check the insulation levels in your attic, ceilings, exterior and basement walls to ensure they meet local energy code recommendations.

4. Caulk and weather-strip around windows and doors to prevent heat leakage. You can also use spray foam to seal air leaks.

5. Consider installing a programmable thermostat. The features can save you as much as 10 percent per year on heating.

6. The best thing you can do to ensure your HVAC system will adequately and efficiently heat your home is maintain it by replacing your furnace filter regularly and scheduling service when a problem arises.

7. Change your ceiling fans direction to clockwise to redirect warm air downward and leave them on a low speed. For more energy savings tips, contact your local utility service provider.
