Happy Earth Day Month!

The most effective steps you can take to improve your home’s energy efficiency are also some of the easiest.
Below are several tips to help you get started:

Manage Your Thermostat

· You can easily save money on your heating and cooling costs by setting your thermostat to temperatures closer to the outside temperature while you are asleep or away.

· A smart thermostat can adjust the temperature automatically, making this process even easier.

Take Care of Your Heating System and Air Conditioner

· Make sure the area around your heating system and air conditioner is clean and that you replace the filter as recommended.

· This helps ensure your system runs smoothly and improves your home’s air quality.

Locate and Seal Air Leaks

· If your home is improperly sealed, air can rise and escape through your attic. As it escapes, outside air is sucked in through unsealed gaps around doors, windows, vents, and other areas.

· Finding and sealing those leaks with caulk or weatherstripping helps lock in the air while keeping out drafts, pests, allergens, and noise.
