Winterize Your Home

Making sure your home is well-sealed against the elements is the first step to winter efficiency. By sealing leaks and adding insulation you'll cut drafts while reducing the amount of heated air you lose to the great outdoors. Combine these upgrades with a programmable thermostat and your annual furnace tune-up and you'll be set to save all winter long.

Low cost and no cost tips for beating winter energy bills

  • Window curtains and blinds are an easy way to insulate your windows.
  • Use caulk or expanding foam sealant to seal indoor air leaks, such as gaps around pipes and wires, electrical outlets, foundation seals, and mail slots.
