4. Check your water heater
Turning your water heater to the WARM setting, 120 degrees, can help save energy (and money) this heating season without affecting the hot showers you love. Need a new water heater? Our team can help with that!
5. Seal air leaks and drafts
Check windows and doors for any air leaks or drafts. If you find any, seal them with weather stripping or caulk to prevent precious heat from escaping.
6. Use your dishwasher and washing machine wisely
Your hot water heater is working overtime during the cold months. Help lighten the load; the more dishes and clothes you fill these appliances with, the less water is needed per cycle. An extra tip: washing clothes in cold water will save energy and even extend the lifespan of your clothing, too.
7. Don’t forget about window treatments!
Keep curtains on south-facing windows open during the day so that the sun can naturally raise your home’s indoor temperature. Just make sure you close them at night for an extra barrier against the evening chill.
8. Layer up!
When you are on the fence about whether you need to turn up the heat, add a cozy layer first. Warm slippers, socks, and sweaters are perfect for the season and can change your comfort before your heating system.
9. Don’t forget about the fireplace
If you have a wood-burning fireplace, your chimney can be a culprit for unseen drafts. Always keep your fireplace damper closed unless you are burning a fire.
