2. Dress For Warmth
• Wear layers! Put on
your sweats, comfy
socks and slippers.
Doing so means you
won’t need to blast
the heat as high.

3. Change Your Filter
• When your filter is dirty, your
furnace/heat pump has to
work harder, and that means
less energy efficiency (which
means more wasted $$ for
you!). Change the filter about
once a month.

kitchen and surrounding
areas!

7. Use Your Ceiling Fan
• Set your ceiling fan to a low speed and make sure

ceiling will them move its way downward.

8. Dial Back Your Hot Water
• Water heaters are often
factory-set at 140 degrees
Fahrenheit, hot enough to
scald. The Department of
Energy says most of us can
live comfortably with 120-
degree water.

9. Insulate with Bubble Wrap
• Bubble wrap helps prevent heat
from escaping through the
windows. “To stick it to your
windows, just cut out strips to match
the size of each pane, and use a
spray bottle to apply a light mist on
the window. The water should create
a seal that effectively holds the
bubble wrap against your window. If
it falls off, just give it another light
spray and reapply."
