Energy Saving Tips To Stay Toasty This Winter

September 18, 2008 — For fall and winter energy saving tips, JELD-WEN offers homeowners the following advice for increasing efficiency and comfort this season:

1. Give your home an energy makeover: A survey or audit of your home’s energy usage and costs can identify specific ways you can reduce your home energy bills. Visit www.energystar.gov for more details.
2. Mind the gap: Seal and weather-strip your windows and doors to ensure you’re not wasting energy. You can save up to 10 percent on your energy bills if done properly.
3. Let the sun do the work: Keep blinds or drapes on sun-exposed windows open during the day to help heat your home.
4. Clean it up: During heavy-usage months, air filters get dirty more often, slowing airflow and making a system work harder and waste energy. Regularly check your air filter and replace it as needed to avoid dirt buildup.
5. Make an upgrade: Replacing single-pane windows with double-pane windows can save you anywhere from $125 to $450 on energy costs each year. JELD-WEN offers a wide variety of ENERGY STAR qualified products with Low-E glass to improve your home’s energy efficiency.
