Winterizing your home has many benefits including reduced heating bills, healthier and more comfortable indoor environments, and less wasted energy resulting in less use of irreplaceable fuels, not to mention reduced emissions that decrease overall air quality. The challenge is that many homeowners do not know that many 'green' repairs and home improvements can be low cost do-it-yourself projects if you have the right information and the right products. Even if you don't know how to read a Lufkin tape measure, you can still 'go green' as you winterize.

Gray also notes that "Our website everydayhandyman.com not only provides access to the best products for DIY home repairs, but offers many how-to articles for all types of home improvement projects." He also suggests doing one project at a time. Small 'green' efforts that can be easily done by most include changing the furnace filter every one to three months, seal your ducts, bundle up your water heater, install ceiling fans and run them in reverse to circulate the heat and install a programmable thermostat to control the temperatures in your home.

To begin 'go green' winterization of your house you should consider the following options:
Replace your old windows with new energy efficient windows; add or replace caulking and worn weather stripping around doors and windows; if you don't have them, install storm doors and install insulation kits behind electrical plugs on exterior walls
