SAVE WITH A DIY HOME ENERGY AUDIT

Spend a little time on a do-it-yourself home audit, and you could save a lot on heating. There are many steps you can take yourself – without a pro. The federal government has created a helpful online resource at Energy.gov. This DIY Home Energy Audit helps you find (and correct) air leaks, check insulation and more.

The site offers easy-to-understand directions and step-by-step directions to help you. Take note: Energy.gov offers one key piece of advice that’s not DIY: “Have a professional check and clean your equipment once a year.” If you haven’t had maintenance or a review of your oilheat, natural gas, propane system during the past year, contact us.

Get started with your basic home audit soon – it’ll help lower your bills all winter long.
