Easy Energy Saving Tips!

If you have Venetian or other horizontal blinds in your home, did you know that the direction of the blinds can directly affect the heat and energy loss?

Believe it or not, there is a right way and a wrong way to slant the blinds during the colder months.

During cold months, the horizontal blind's slats should be slanted from the indoors to the outdoors (up).  Plus, make sure your horizontal blinds are fully lowered so they touch the windowsill.  Slanting the blinds this way will trap the cool air between the window and the blinds and will keep your room warmer. 

Do just the opposite for warm months.  Slant the blinds from the outdoors to the indoors (down).

"The history of our race, and each individual's experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal."  (Mark Twain)
