• Seal air leaks around doors, windows and attic openings.
• Add weather stripping or rope caulk to help reduce drafts.
• Schedule a heating system tune-up before colder temperatures arrive.
• Replace your furnace filter to help your system run efficiently.
• Close fireplace dampers when not in use.
