Here are a
few helpful energy-saving tips from the professionals at G.W.
Condon, Inc.:
- An annual
tune-up and cleaning of your heating system can cut up to 10%
off your energy bill.
- Clean your
baseboards and radiators as needed and be sure furniture, carpet
or draperies do not block them.
- Check insulation
for dirty spots that will often indicate an air leak.
- Caulk and
weatherize doors and windows.
- Install
storm or double-pane windows if possible.
- Close fireplace
flue dampers when not in use.
- Kitchen,
bath and ventilating fans can pull out a houseful of heat in
just an hour. Use them wisely and shut them off after use.
- Open drapery
on the south side of your home during the day to let sunlight
in.
