November is the start of the holiday season, but it’s also the beginning of cozy season. The sun is setting early, winter is on the horizon, and sweater weather is here! As you start making your daily trips to the thermostat or setting schedules on your programmable thermostat, there are a variety of ways to conserve energy at home to help reduce your energy bills this winter.
As your full-service home comfort specialists, Coan Oil understands the cost for your comfort, and that’s why in addition to providing service plans, preventative maintenance tune-ups, and other cost-saving services, we’ve compiled a list of energy conservation tips that you can use at home!
Even small adjustments can make a big impact. Let’s take a look at a few:
- Remove air conditioning window units or cover them securely.
- Correct air leaks around windows, doors, and electrical outlets, and repair weather stripping and caulking.
- Keep blinds and furniture away from vents to avoid obstructing air flow from your HVAC system.
- Install a programmable thermostat. When used properly, it can shave $100 off your annual energy bills.
- Check the threshold for any gaps between it and the door. Use a bottom seal that can be attached to the door to stop drafts.
As you cozy up with family or friends this holiday season, enjoy comfort without stressing about the cost by practicing energy conservation!
