Hey Everyone!

Cooler temperatures are here, and colder temps are fast approaching. There's no better time than now to do some seasonal maintenance to keep your home running smoothly.

Feel for drafts around the window and door edges. A good hint is to use a lighted candle and if the flame flickers, there's a draft!

If it's necessary, replace seals and repair caulk around the window and door frames, or consider buying a heavier drapery for windows.

Adjust your programmable settings based on your schedule.

Set your thermostat to lower temperatures automatically at night when you are already toasty warm under your blankets, and when you aren't home. This can result in substantial
savings.
