Winter in the GTA can be tough on both your heating system and your energy bills—but a few small changes can make a big difference. Here’s how to keep your home cozy without overusing energy:
Seal Drafts and Gaps
Check around windows, doors, and baseboards. Weatherstripping and caulking keep the cold out and the heat in.Use a Programmable Thermostat
Lower the heat while you’re asleep or away to save energy automatically. (Ps. We would love to install a Smart Thermostat for you!)Reverse Your Ceiling Fan
Switch it to spin clockwise on a low setting to push warm air back down into the room!Let the Sun in
Open curtains on sunny days to naturally warm your home, then close them at night to keep heat inside.Layer Up
Sweaters, slippers, and cozy blankets mean you can turn the thermostat down a degree or two without feeling chilly.
Small adjustments like these can keep you warm, lower your bills, and reduce your energy use all winter long.
