1. Energy Saving Tips
in Winter
The more we save energy, the more we get it. Energy saving
is very essential if your electricity bill is exceeding your
household budget. As it is the time of fall and winters, we
look at some of the energy saving tips that can be used on a
daily basis. In order to ensure maximum savings
throughout the winters, the following simple and
inexpensive steps can help a lot.
2. Take Advantage From The Sun:
Allow the sunlight to
naturally heat your
home on daytime by
opening the curtains
in your south facing
windows. Do not
forget to close the
windows to avoid the
chill you may feel
from cold windows.
3. Cover Drafty Windows
Reduce infiltration
by making sure
that the plastic is
sealed tightly to
the window frames.
Use a heavy-duty,
clear plastic sheet
on a frame or tape
clear plastic film to
the inside of your
window frames
during the cold
winter months
4. Adjust The Temperature
Set your
thermostat at
low temperature
when you are at
home or awake.
While you are
out of the house,
set your
thermostat back
to 10 to 15 degree
for eight hours.
The heating and
cooling bills can
be saved around
10% a year by
this method.
5. Find And Seal Links
Seal the air leaks
around utility
cut-through for
pipes (plumbing
penetrations),
gaps around
chimneys and
recessed lights in
insulated ceilings,
and unfinished
spaces behind
cupboards and
closets.
6. Regular Maintenance Of The Heating
Systems
Regular maintenance and service of
the heating systems is necessary. It
helps in the smooth and efficient
operation of the system. Furnace
filter should also be replaced on a
monthly basis or when needed.
Install tempered glass doors and a
heat-air exchange system for your
fireplace use and in case if you do
not use it, plug and seal the chimney
flue.
7. Lower The Water Heating Cost
It is the area where you can
save a lot as it accounts for
15 to 25 percent of energy
consumption during
winters. Besides saving
energy, you will also avoid
scalding your hands if you
can turn down the
temperature of your water
heater to the warm setting
(120 degree Fahrenheit).
8. Lower The Holiday Lightning
Cost:
Use light-
emitting diode
or LED holiday
light strings to
reduce the cost
of decorating
your home for
the winter
holidays.
