This week’s tip to help winterize your home and make it more energy efficient is to cook at home.
When you cook at home you not only warm up your kitchen, but you also help heat surrounding rooms with the extra heat from the stove and oven. Take advantage of this added benefit and prepare meals at home.
This week’s tip to help you winterize your home and make it more energy efficient is to replace your furnace filter.
Dirty filters keep air from flowing through your heating system, preventing it from allowing warm air to spread throughout your house. A new filter will help minimize air obstruction and the amount of dust in your home.
