It’s getting to be that time of year again were colder temperatures equal higher heating bills. Please follow this link from Tree Hugger http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/12-ways-to-green-your-house-for-winter.php to help you cool down those heating bills.
You do not need to spend thousands of dollars to make your home more efficient in the winter. Turning down your water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and buying a hot water heater blanket will cause your water heater to use less energy for heating. Less energy means less money coming out of your pocket for your heating bills. Also, setting your thermostat to a lower temperature setting, and sealing leaks around windows and doors will reduce your heating consumption during the cold months.
Now, if you do have some money laying around to spend on heating upgrades. You could always buy a more energy efficient furnace or add more insulation to your attic and walls.
