Schedule or Conduct a Home Energy Audit

‘Tis the season to crank up the heat!  Have you examined your furnace lately?  How about sealed your home against the elements?  Now’s a great time to look for leaks and to work to improve the efficiency of your home’s systems.  This can save significant energy and money, as well as provide a satisfying way to spend part of a lovely fall weekend before winter arrives.  There are many easy tasks you can do yourself – or take advantage of the opportunities available through your utility or municipality.  Check out the links below for more ideas and information.  Then snuggle in and let it snow!
