Are Energy Hogs Lurking in Your Home?
Energy Hogs are villainous creatures that feed on wasted energy. Don't
let your home be their home, too. Prevent Energy Hogs this winter.
- Insulate your house. Insulation traps warm air
inside so you don't have to turn up the heat. In the summer it
keeps the cool air in and warm air out reducing the amount of
energy it takes to cool your home.
- Close the damper. Fireplaces add warmth to your
home, but when not in use hot air escapes up through the chimney.
By closing the damper, Energy Hogs cannot get in.
- Caulk or weather-strip windows. Windows are one
of the easiest places to lose warm or cool air and energy. Check
for cracks or loose panes and repair them. Make sure you can't
feel a cool breeze around your windows.
These helpful hints along with other energy conservation tips can be
found by going to the Energy
Hog Buster web site. There's fun stuff for kids, too!
