This winter, let’s save some real dollars and more than a few cents when it comes to conserving energy to keep your home warm. Today’s blog is all about that and more!

Reducing Energy Consumption Tips

There are lots of ways in which you can save energy on heating bills this fall and winter. Here are a few great and simple ideas you can start using today in order to help save green while going green.

Seal Gaps and Drafts

With just a little bit of weather stripping material from your local hardware store, you can turn that small investment into a huge return on your energy bills. Use that and some extra caulking you may have lying around to seal cracks and gaps around your doors and windows.

Check Your Attic And Reseal

Check up in your attic to see if there are any gaps or open holes that are letting the outside air in. This can help you cut down on damaging moisture buildup as well as reduce the chance that critters and bugs can get in and start wrecking the place.

Strategic Landscaping

This is a bit of a long game, but it is worth it by far. One way to help reduce damaging wind gusts against your home and especially against your windows, then you may want to plant some barrier shrubs or trees. If you plant trees around the perimeter of your property and have bushes and shrubs near your windows, you can help to eliminate harsh sun and direct wind abrasion all year round.

Upgrade To Energy Efficient Windows And Doors

If you’re tired of paying too much for your heating and cooling bills each year, you can put a huge dent into those HVAC costs by upgrading your windows and doors to more modern, energy efficient and insulating ones like double or triple pane windows and insulated doors.
