Kritsonis and Lindor Real Estate Services: Save money on your energy bill this winter by Winterizing your home.

Did you know....there are many things you can do to help keep your home warm in the winter?

If you have a fireplace, close the damper and seal the opening shut when not in use.
If you used the oven to cook dinner, leave the oven door cracked open when done to let heat escape.
Close the vents and doors to rooms less used.
Put up storm doors.
Use do-it-yourself plastic-film storm windows.
Make sure doors and windows are properly sealed.
Purchase a door draft stopper for any doors that tend to let in cold air (outside, basement, to the garage, etc.).
Make sure the attic has adequate insulation.
Inspect your furnace filters monthly during the winter months and clean or replace more often if needed. Build up on filters means your furnace works harder.
Install a programmable thermostat and set it to lower the temperature at night and while away.
Wear sweaters, heavy socks and warmer clothing while home.
Insulate your pipes and hot water heater.
Purchase thicker, heavier drapes for the winter months and keep them closed in the evening and throughout the night.
Place rugs on your hardwood floors.
