Did You Know?

Replacing old windows with double-pane, low-e windows, can bring down your Utilities bill.

In warm seasons at night (when temperatures are cooler), open windows when you feel comfortable doing so (i.e. in calm weather condition, with a window stopper in place, during clean air days, etc).

Insulating hot water pipes leading from the water heater helps keep your hot water from cooling off before it gets to the tap.
