• Use passive solar: It will help capture the heat in your hose and all you have to do is open the curtains during the day and close then at night, except in the summer when you should close your curtains during the hottest parts of the day.
• Eliminate those Drafts: You can eliminate the drafts in your home just by caulking and weathering stripping the storm windows and upgrading your insulation and removing and storing your window AC in the winter time when you aren’t using it.
• Upgrade your furnace: It’s the single most important energy saving advice you can get, by upgrading your furnace you can save so much in home energy loss.
• Adjust your furnace: If you keep your furnace 2° lower in the winter and 2° higher in the summer you will end up saving more energy than if you allowed your thermostat to stay at one temperature. Also set your water heater at 120°.
• Reuse: If you reuse most everything in your home that falls into a jar, bag, or food container category you not only save move on energy cost that is used to make them you also save yourself money in the long run.
