It is just beginning to get cold again in North Kingstown Rhode Island real estate and since a long winter is ahead of us, I just wanted to cover
10 RI energy savers all homeowners should know about
that will take you under 15 minutes to put into action …and begin to hear the coins saved…green energy begins!
– Keep your home thermostat no higher than 68 degrees – for every degree you turn the thermostat down you lower your energy costs by 1-3%
– Clean your furnace filter (gas furnaces have them vacuumed)
– Install storm windows (or shut them if they are open)
– Close your curtains, drapes and shades at night
– Use direct sunlight to heat the rooms during the daytime
– Vampire electronics! Unplug unused electronics
– Shut the chimney flue when not in use
– Remove air conditioning units from windows
– Set hot water tank temperature settings at 120 degrees, no higher
– Learn to wash clothes in cold water (brr!)
