Cut Energy Bills With Wind Power And Winterize Your Home
Heading into this winter season many families are understandably nervous. It's a tough economy and
many people are worried about their jobs and keeping up with rising costs. But there are many
cheap, or free, things you can do to cut energy bills. Here is a list of some of the easy, yet
effective, changes you can start making today.

1. Make sure your furnace is ready for the winter. Have a qualified HVAC professional check and
clean your unit. Once the heating season starts make sure to change your filters monthly. If the
filter is dirty it will restrict airflow which will use more energy since it has to work harder.

2. Add a programmable thermostat. You can set it to automatically adjust the temperature at certain
times of the day and certain days of the week. That way the temperature in your home will
automatically go down during the day when no one is home, or overnight. It can also raise the
temperature shortly before you get up in the morning.

3. Take care of your fireplace. Make sure the chimney is cleaned and in good repair. If you use your
fireplace more than once a week you should have it professionally cleaned yearly. Also install a cap
or screen at the top of your chimney to prevent birds from building nests.

4. Caulk around your windows and doors. The more heat loss you can prevent the less your furnace
will have to run, and that will save you money all season long. Using window kits is another way to
prevent heat loss from older windows.

5. Using wind power, (think home windmill) along with the above winterizing tips and this will more
than put you ahead of the game; on cutting your long term electric bills.

Now is a good time to make some simple changes that can help you cut energy bills this winter. Take
a few minutes now to save hundreds not only this winter but throughout the year and for years to
come.
