Cozy Home Settings​

When it’s nice outside, try opening your windows or turning on ceiling fans instead of your A/C. Through the afternoon heat, turning your blinds upward will help keep your home cool and comfortable.

 

Filter Check

Replacing or cleaning your air filters regularly helps keep your heater and A/C running smoothly, especially if you have pets.​

 

Savor the Season​

Cooler weather is perfect for firing up the grill. For cozy meals indoors, try using a slow cooker or Instant Pot as an energy- saving alternative to the oven or stovetop.​

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.
