Winter Home Care Tips


Heating cost have been projected to be the highest in a decade!

What can you do to save money?

#1 Have the furnace professionally checked, cleaned, and oiled for more efficiency.

Save more on utility bills by adding a digital programmable thermostat!

Add even more to your savings by including it at the time of your furnace checkup. Call for more info!

#2 Show your water heater some TLC.

Water heating typically accounts for 14% of your utility bill!

Five ways to save on utility cost:

  • Use less hot water
  • Turn down the temperature on your unit
  • Insulate your unit
  • Flush the sediment out of your unit
  • Replace with a more efficient unit

#3 Clean and oil your whole house fan (attic fan)

Add a custom insulated fan cover in the attic to stop escaping warm air that could cause ice dams resulting in rotted rafters, fascia, etc.

#4 Calking & weather stripping can reduce your heating cost by as much as 25%

and make you much more comfortable! Call for a quote today!

Don’t forget to check for water leaks near tubs/showers, water heaters, under sinks, behind washers, and under your house. Water leakage from cracked pipes and o-rings can cause SERIOUS flooring and foundation damage, also attracting termites and mold, if not caught and repaired early! Also, take your water hose off your outdoor hose bibb to prevent freezing!
