Hello All,
This Fall and Winter my DH and I are hoping to reduce our utility bills by 10% compared to last year by winterizing, etc. This will be tough because last winter was a pretty mild one for us! I will be comparing cost this year vs. last year. Wish us luck!
Here is our list:
- Insulate and seal the basement door--Done
- Insulate and seal the attic access opening
- Put bubble wrap on all bedroom windows
- Put bottle of water in toilet tank to save water each flush
- Buy and install dryer vent bucket to let dryer vent help heat the house
- Buy and install hot water heater blanket
- Insulate hot water pipes
- Caulk around all windows
- Put weather stripping around front and back doors
- Check both fans on fireplace inserts
- Split firewood
- Make draft dodger for front door
- Insulate heat runs in basement
- Replace air filter in furnace
- Clean baseboard heater
- Buy runner for slate hallway--floor is always extremely cold!
- Make rice bags for bed warmers
- Turn water heater down
Well that is our long list! Can you think of anything else I may have missed? Hopefully we will get it all completed! I'll check back in later to let you know our progress!
Frugal Blessings,
Lisa
