Cozy Up and Save: 5 Energy Conservation Tips for Winter
November is the start of the holiday season, but it’s also the beginning of cozy season. The sun is setting earlier, 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, Harris Comfort 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 programmable thermostats. When used properly, thermostats are great for conservation of energy. They can shave $100 off your annual energy bills.
- Keep ductwork in good repair. Your home could be losing up to 25% of its hot air before it reaches the vents! Dirty ducts can also reduce energy efficiency and force your system to work harder. Harris Comfort provides professional duct cleaning services to promote healthy air and efficient operation.
As you cozy up with family and friends this holiday season, enjoy comfort without stressing about the cost by practicing energy conservation!
