Save Money this Winter with these Energy Saving Tips

For much of the the U.S. and Canada, cold weather has either already arrived or is on its way. With that decrease in temperature often comes an increase in expenses to help offset keeping your home snug as a bug during the winter months. Before it gets too cold, it is time to self-assess and conduct a home energy audit!

By checking (or paying a professional to perform the tasks) your major systems now you can resolve any issues before they become big expenses and energy drains. Also, do not forget to check the minor things like looking for air leaks around doors, windows, and lights. Everything you do to conserve energy can have a direct affect on how much money you keep in your wallet this winter.  

Whether you are looking to buy a home, want to sell your existing property, or are hunkering down for the winter, below are some energy saving tips to help put some money back in your pocket and keep you warm.

Anita these are very good tips.  The cost of heating my house last heating season was ridiculous, so I am taking extra steps to reduce those costs this year.

Great tips Anita!

Winter is an expensive time of year between the heating costs, having your driveway plowed and all the bags of anti-ice salt to spread, costs can add up quickly.

These great tips will sure help. Thanks.

Great blog post and reminder instead of spending all outdoors on newest gadgets to heat and cool the place, beef up the insulation. Crawl into tight places and spaces to see if the R value is over the top and adequate to make the property less energy hogging. Oink. Soo-eee.

Bobbie: You are so right. The costs can add up quickly!

Andy: Yes, adding insulation can be a big difference maker. Caulking around the lights (from the attic) helps too.

Happy to provide it. Thank you for reblogging, Nina.
