Say no to the fireplace

We know you imagine you and your family cozying together near the warmth of the fireplace during the holiday season but it really isn’t the most efficient way. Drafts will pull all that warm air up your chimney which leaves all the other rooms in your house to be colder. That means your central air heating system will be working double to maintain the temperature you’ve set – and yes, that means higher utility rates.

And let’s talk about how fireplaces that are not EPA-certified have the potential to create up to 20 times the amount of air pollution. So we suggest you skip this idea and think of other ways to spend quality time with your family or loved ones.

Weatherproofing is key

Modern weatherization methods are pretty much economical and won’t take you a lot of effort. So what are the minor things you can do to prevent drafts from seeping into your home?

Install door draft stopper, weatherstrip your windows, and insulate your homes together with your electrical outlets.

Finally, power up with solar energy

Having a solar installation in your home gives you the ability to produce more power than you might use in any given day, making it a highly efficient source of electricity. Solar panels today have been optimized so you no longer need to have a very wide roof area for your panels to generate much electricity.

This allows homeowners like yourself to generate greater energy with your little roof space, allowing you to offset your current electric bill thus generating more savings. Plus, it’s not just for the holidays! You get to save daily the entire year for many decades to come, making it a sound investment.
