Winter is knocking at our door!. Are you wondering what you can do to help keep those heating cost down? Here are some suggestions:

Make sure your windows and doors are properly sealed. They may need re-caulking. They may even need to be replaced. Check to see if the rubber slides at the bottom of the doors are working properly and are in good shape. Don’t forget about the garage doors. Make sure they are sealed properly also.

What about the exterior wall penetrations such as water pipes, waste pipes, oil feeds and gas feeds. Are these penetrations sealed so water doesn’t get by? You may need to add expanding foam or seal openings with concrete.

Check to see if your thermostats are properly set so you’re not heating an empty building.
