HomeMy WebLinkAboutWeatherization tip sheet, listDEFEAT DRAFTS.
Check windows and doors for drafts, then add weather stripping, caulk, or use
a draft guard to fix air leaks.
REPLACE FURNACE FILTER.
Make it easier for your furnace to move warm air throughout the house. Install
a clean, new filter now and again in January.
WEATHERIZE WINDOWS.
Install window film or storm windows to help keep warm air indoors and Jack
Frost outside.
LIGHT THE WAY.
Longer winter nights add up to more time with the lights on. Replace old
bulbs with energy efficient LEDs to save on energy and costs.
DON’T FORGET THE FAN.
Change ceiling fans to rotate clockwise in cold weather. This helps push warm
air back down to where the people are.
