Comfy Settings

When it’s nice out, try opening your windows or running your fans instead of your A/C. Turn your blinds upward to block out the afternoon heat.

 

Filter Check

Replacing your air filters regularly can help keep your heater and A/C running smooth all year. Swap it out more often if you have pets.

Fall can be a great time to master the grill. A slow cooker or Instant Pot are also good alternatives to your stove and use less energy.

Simple Tips to Prepare for Winter

• Flip fans:  Running fans clockwise in the winter helps push warm air down into the room to use heat more efficiently.
• Get a tune-up:  Have your heating system serviced regularly to keep it running efficiently.
• Seal leaks:  Check for leaks around doors and windows where warm air can escape. Use caulk and weather stripping to seal any openings.
• Trim trees:  Cut back branches near your roof to avoid damage from ice and snow, and clean your gutters to avoid water damage during a freeze.
• Test detectors:  Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and change their batteries each year.
