The Best Winter Energy Saving Tip Ever

If you are concerned about how you are going to pay for heat this winter, you are not alone. Millions of homeowners in the U.S. are worried about the impact that this winter's heating bills will have in their budgets. 

Understandably so.  

 

We are looking into some pretty dire predictions from  the U. S. Energy Information Administration.

The agency  "projects average household heating expenditures for natural gas, propane, and heating oil will increase by 3 percent, 7 percent, and 8 percent, respectively, this winter (October 1 to March 31) compared with last winter,…  Average expenditures for households that heat with oil are forecast to be higher than in any previous winter."

If there was ever a good time to start getting serious about greening up your home and save energy, the time is now. Investing in the right energy saving improvements, will help you save money and make your home more comfortable this winter and for many years to come. 

While some upgrades like new HVAC systems and Solas Panels can be very expensive, some of the most cost effective improvements, the ones that will bring the most savings per dollar invested, sometimes are very affordable too. Air sealing and insulation for example, can help you lower your heating bills by up to 40%!

Combine that with several Federal and Local Energy Efficiency Incentive Programs, that will help you pay for the cost of the improvements and you have a win-win situation. 

But you need to start acting now, before winter strikes and the heating bills begin to take a bite out of the money that could be better spent in energy saving improvements.
