Home Tips That Will Help You Save Money

Winter is here and we want to arm you with easy home tips that can help you save money during some of the most expensive months as a homeowner.  Promise they're simple and will make a difference in your power bill:

• Get an energy check: Many times we overpay because we are unaware that our home is losing energy due to a cracked window or uneven door frame. The specialist will conduct an "energy audit" and will test your home for energy losses and safety issues. This person will generate a detailed report highlighting what your home issues are. 
• Insulations gaps: If you have something penetrates a wall, you are likely to have an air leak. Check out outside faucets, air vents, and plumbing for gaps where air could be escaping. Air escaping = higher energy bills.
• Check your heating system: Perform a tune-up to find ways to cut down on energy, prevent carbon monoxide leaks, and keep air from escaping your home. Make sure the air inside your house is safe and healthy for you and your family.
• Make sure your windows close properly: Take a moment to go through all the windows in your house and make sure air is not leaving or entering your home when the window is closed. A slow leak can cause your energy bill to be higher.

A professional will be able to help answer your questions, help you perform these home audits, or direct you to the technician that can perform them successfully.
