I know many of use are mourning summer time. It's doubly difficult to say goodbye to summer when you're worried about your utility bills all winter long. But you don't have to worry, there are some easy things you can do today to cut energy bills, today, and all year long.
There are big changes you can make that will save you hundreds or thousands of dollars on utility bills, and then there are smaller things you can do that will save you dozens, or hundreds of dollars. The choice is yours.
Generally speaking the bigger the change the bigger the upfront cost, but also the bigger the payoff on energy savings.
Here is a brief list of changes, big and small, that can help you get those utility bills under control, and keep them that way.
1. Either replace or repair windows and doors. If they're older than 10 years you might want to upgrade to newer more energy efficient models. You might even be eligible for a tax credit if you do.
2. Adding insulation can help save a lot of money since you won't be wasting all the warm air by allowing it to seep out of your house.
Insulate your attic, fill in cracks around windows and doors, and add insulatated window kits to your windows to keep the drafts out of your home.
3. Use the sun to heat your home during the day. Even in the winter sunlight throws off a lot of heat. Let it help you keep your home nice and toasty, all for free.
Close your curtains at night to keep the cold air out of your home.
4. And to really save big on your utility bills you might want to consider ways of generating your own electricity.
You can easily, in a few days, and cheaply, for less than $200, build a home size wind turbine to capture the power of the wind and convert it to electricity and cut energy bills.
