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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
