subject: Aaa Auger Plumbing Services Fort Worth Texas Reveal Winter Energy Saving Tips [print this page] We at AAA AUGER Plumbing Services Fort Worth Texas are always looking for ways to save energy, but many people only focus on energy savings in the summer. Winter is another time of year that you can be saving energy and AAA AUGER wants to help. Consider implementing some of these winter energy tips to be green and save green!
Find and Seal Leaks - Locate any leaks in your plumbing system and prevent a small problem from turning into a giant one. This is important no matter the time of year, but it is especially important during winter and the tendency for pipes to freeze at this time.
Turn Down the Temperature - When you are home, put the thermostat as low as is comfortable for you and your family to save energy and reduce costs. Make sure to keep all windows and doors closed to better insulate your house.
Use LED's - Using LED holiday lights reduces the cost of decorating your home for the winter holidays. So feel free to put out Santa, all his reindeer and a giant holiday inflatable on your lawn!
Cover Windows at Night - Install heavy drapes or shades to insulate windows at night, then open them up and let in the sunshine during the day. Keep drapes closed on windows that don't receive much sunshine to keep the cold air from coming in through the seam.
Utilize your Fireplace - The best part of winter is cuddling up to the fire with some hot chocolate, so grab your marshmallows and turn off your lights for a relaxing night by the fire. Use the natural light and heat from the fire to replace your lighting and heat and enjoy the second best part of winter; a lower energy bill!
