• Reverse ceiling fans to bring warm air down from the ceiling areas
• Close doors and cover vents in unused rooms
• Close your unused fireplace
• Ensure all windows in the home are closed
• Insulate windows and doors
• Eliminate cracks and gaps in doors and windows
• Put flannel sheets on your beds and extra blankets as well
• Lower the thermostat before bed
• Contact your local HVAC company for an energy audit to determine any other ways you can make changes to reduce your energy bills.
