Bryant Comfort Heroes Shares Winter Energy Saving Tips
(PRWEB) December 30, 2013 -- According to the U.S. Department of Energy, space heating is the largest energy expense in the average U.S. home, accounting for about 45% of all energy bills. Many homeowners consider updating their home heating systems to save on utility costs, but instead of spending for a complete furnace repair Marion Illinois homeowners can still get energy savings with these tips from Bryant Comfort Heroes and the U.S. Department of Energy:
• Clean air filters monthly and replace them regularly.
• Check air ducts and heating pipes to ensure they are properly sealed.
• Make sure air vents, baseboard heaters and radiators aren’t obstructed by furniture.
• Keep your curtains open during the day to let the sunlight in and naturally heat your home. Close them at night to keep the heat inside.
• Use a programmable thermostat to set your heater back while you are away or asleep.
• Seal your home and insulate the attic to help retain the home’s heat. Up to 25% of a home’s heat is lost through small cracks and holes throughout the home.
• Seal air ducts and make sure they are insulated, especially in an unheated area of the home such as an attic or crawlspace.
• Weatherstrip around doors and windows to keep warm air from escaping.
• Set ceiling fans to spin clockwise to blow rising hot air down into the room.
