Getting energy ready for winter.

Let’s get ready for the colder weather ahead by following some home winterizing tips that may be best handled by a professional.  It is always advisable to install weather-stripping and do some caulking to cut down dramatically on wasted energy and reduce your heating bills.  If a home is improperly sealed it can increase your home heating bill by 15% or more.

Every duct, wire or pipe that penetrates the wall or ceiling or floor has the potential to waste energy.  Have them sealed with caulking and weather-stripping.  And, of course get a routine maintenance and inspection of your heating system each autumn to make sure it is in good working order.
