It’s officially November, and the temperatures in
Dayton, OH, have taken their cue to begin dropping. Let’s start this cold-weathered season right by reviewing some ways to save money on
heating.
Insulating is Key Insulating is a hot winter trend. Run your
heating unit less this year by practicing the following guidelines:
- Stop the drafts: If the air surrounding the front or back door feels chilly, you’re likely suffering from under-the-door drafts. Don’t worry though; the remedy is simple. Just buy or make a draft stopper.
- Warm the windows: In addition to looking good and providing privacy, window drapes also help warm the house. After all, hanging drapes is like hanging a blanket from the ceiling.
- Caulk those cracks: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, caulking air leaks can shave 5%–10% off your heating bill. Caulking around window crevices is an especially helpful way to keep the heat inside.
Try to implement these steps as quickly as possible, because this winter will likely be cold. The
Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a “biting cold and snowy” winter for Indiana,
Ohio, and the surrounding states. You’ll need an energy-efficient home so the
heat pump or
furnace doesn’t have to work as hard.
