6 Easy Ways to Cut Your Energy Bill This Winter

The winter months are upon us and with old man winter comes escalating heating costs! Although there is no way to completely avoid the increase, there are some easy ways that you can cut monthly bills without too much effort.  

 Check out these helpful energy saving tips!
  • Seal up windows. Ideally you will have well insulated reinforced windows.  If not, take time before the temperatures drop too much to seal any leaky windows with caulk or plastic.
  • Know where your power is going.  Power-strips also exist that will monitor how many kilowatts of electricity are being pulled from specific outlets.  A device like this can help you visualize where the extra costs are coming and cut them back.
  • Examine your roof and gutters.  Check for obstructions or areas in need of replacement before they are covered in snow and ice!  If you find anything out of the ordinary call the best Lake of the Ozarks Roofer for a free roof inspection.
  • Unplug charges not in use.  You can simply unplug anything that is not in use or purchase a specific power-strip that will automatically disconnect power when the item is turned off.  Refer to product label.
  • Set up an Energy Audit.  Whether you hire a professional or purchase the equipment and do it yourself, this audit can help identify areas of concern in need of attention.
  • Reverse ceiling fans.  This will help push heat down which allows you to keep the thermostat down.  If that's not enough - throw on an extra layer of clothes instead of adjusting the heat.
Try these suggestions and you will be surprised how much it will effect your monthly expenses.
