Did you know that you can save up to 10 percent on your energy bill by reducing air leaks in your home? Cold nights mean that energy conservation is on the mind, and there are simple things you can do around the house to maximize your heating potential!
Viewer Tip: If you have a fireplace, make sure to keep the damper closed when you don’t have a fire going – leaving the damper open is like having an open window. You may also want to check the ducts in your home for air leaks – look for separation or holes and repair them with duct tape or ask a professional for help.
