Seal air leaks and gaps to stay warm

Caulk around win­dows, doors and oth­er gaps to stop cold air from sneak­ing in and warm air from escap­ing. It’s a low-cost fix to help any heat­ing sys­tem work more effi­cient­ly.

Use curtains & rugs strategically

Cov­er bare floors with rugs to reduce heat loss through tile or wood and make rooms feel warmer. Lim­it heat loss through win­dows by clos­ing your cur­tains at night after let­ting the sun in dur­ing the day.

Insulate your hot water pipes

Wrap exposed hot water pipes with foam or insu­la­tion sleeves. This keeps the water hot­ter for longer, reduces the ener­gy your water heater uses and helps you get hot water faster.
