Good Stuff Happens in 1:1 Meetings: Why you need them and how to do them well
Save money this winter
1. To Get Ready For Winter
My favorite season is here!! Although it's my favorite, many aren’t too fond of winter due to higher
electric bills. To keep winter awesome, I've put together some tips that will help many of us to save
money and energy.
-Insulate Your Home
Insulate your Windows, this doesn’t mean you must replace your windows. You can place light
and inexpensive film over windows which will keep out the cold and keep in the warmth.
-Insulate Your Home
Place large mats under your main door to keep out the cold. Any drafts that you allow in your
home will lead to more energy consumption.
-Stay Cozy
Don’t only bundle up when your out side, keep your self warm while your also inside. Just
because you have the heat on does not mean you should wear T-Shirts or Shorts. Keep your self warm,
wear heavy clothing so you do not always need to have the heat turned up. Basically, wear heavy
clothing so you don’t have to keep the heat up so high. Even 1 degree on your heating unit makes a
great difference.
- Insulate your Home
I keep bringing this up because it's a must to save money. You need to be
sure to seal up any cracks, and openings. If needed, be sure to insulate
your garage door.
-Heating
When you leave to go out, be sure to either turn your heating unit completely off, or to lower
the settings. No point in keeping the heat on in an empty house. When you go to sleep, be sure to turn
down your heating unit. Don’t turn it off, but just lower the settings to save money, also be sure to wear
heavy clothing you don’t catch a cold.
-Insulate
If you have an attic, make sure to cover up the entrance. Any heat escaping to the attic is wasted
energy.
-Water
We all love to take long showers during cold times. If your not willing to cut down on
your shower times, then install some low flow showerheads.
-Carpets
Place some rugs on hardwood floors to keep your home a bit warmer. If you can fully carpet
your floors, then go for it!! I'm sure we all realize that carpet holds in more heat than hardwood.
-Programmable Thermostats
2. These are easy to install, and they make a big difference. They regulate the temperate and make
sure your always saving the most you can.
-Warmness
If you have a small fan(on the lowest setting), use it to distribute the warm air from your AC.
By doing so, it takes less time to warm your home, therefore, you save a bit of money.
