Fall into good energy habits
Fall is the perfect time to make sure your energy usage efforts are not falling by the wayside. (Pun intended.) Consider the following tips to help you save on your energy bill during the fall and beyond:
– LET THE SUN DO ITS THING
Let the sun shine in to light and warm your home on chilly days. Just be sure to close curtains at night to keep any chilly weather out.
– CHECK ALL SEALS
Before winter comes, inspect your windows and doors for any gaps that could allow heat and/or AC to enter or escape. If need be, use weather strips and caulking to help keep your home at the perfect temperature for you and your family.
– REVERSE CEILING FANS
Although it is not really necessary in Florida, you can change the direction of your ceiling fan to turn clockwise. This simple change pushes warm air that has risen back down into the room. This also aids in redistributing air so the air coming out of the vents it is evenly moved through the room.
