Energy Tip:
Consider using a power strip to cut power to home office equipment when you are not using it as "phantom" energy is used even when your appliances are turned off but remain plugged in.
Weatherize First
Weatherize First!
Before you assume that your heating system is the reason for a cold house or high energy bills, make sure your home is adequately weatherized. A well-insulated and airtight building will make any heating system shine, while a poorly insulated and drafty building may tarnish the performance of the most energy-efficient heating system.
Insulate
By also adding insulation to your attic area, walls and floors you will substantially improve the efficiency and comfort of your home.
