The average household uses about 52% of its energy consumption for heating and cooling — accounting for more than half a typical home’s energy bill.  

 

This year, take a mindful step towards energy-efficiency to help lower your energy usage and bills. Try these tips to help get the savings rolling in 2024: 

 

• Seal air leaks — Heated and cooled air can slip through the cracks in your home. Stop air leaks by using caulk to keep the air from escaping. 

 

• Consider window treatments — Adding drapes to your windows can help prevent heat loss by up to 10%. During the heating season, keep them open during the day to allow the sun to warm your home and close them at night, overlapping each other to secure heat in your home.  

 

• Regularly clean or replace your filters — Dust left in your furnace or air conditioner filters can cause your system to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Clean filters allow air and heat to flow with ease.
