The holidays are here, which means Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling of Bowling Green KY is looking forward to the exciting changes that will take place in 2015. To improve your Bowling Green home’s energy efficiency during the coming weeks, follow the steps below:
- Each month, check your furnace filters and clean them when needed. Pleated paper filters do an excellent job filtering allergens and small particulates. A clean filter means the furnace does not have to work as hard!
- Doors and windows can leak heat if they’re not sealed properly. Keep cold air and moisture out by caulking around the exterior. Use a waterproof, flexible, and paintable caulk. You might also want to try weather stripping around the doors.
- If your fireplace has an open firebox, consider adding glass fireplace doors to prevent heat from escaping. You can also purchase special fireplace blankets to cover openings.
- High ceilings in your home? Ceiling fans aren’t just for summer – use a ceiling fan on the reverse “winter” setting to distribute heat around the room, which will save energy.
- Purchase a programmable thermostat that turns temperatures down when not in use and automatically adjusts when you are home.
