How to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient Before Winter Hits

Before Northern Colorado winter arrives in full force, take a weekend to make sure your home is ready to handle it efficiently. Start by checking for drafts around doors and windows, and seal any gaps with caulk or weatherstripping. A few small fixes can make a big difference when the wind starts to whistle.

Next, change your furnace filter, schedule a tune-up, and make sure your thermostat is running properly. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can save energy without sacrificing comfort.

Don’t forget your water heater, set it to 120°F for safety and savings. And if you have a fireplace, have it cleaned and inspected so you can stay cozy without losing heat up the chimney. Little improvements now can keep your home warm and your energy bills down all winter long.

Simple maintenance steps add up to comfort, savings, and peace of mind. A few hours of prep today can make your home feel warmer, run smoother, and be ready for every snowflake Northern Colorado sends your way.
