It’s time to turn off that air conditioner and start closing up the windows for the fall season! Make sure your home is as energy efficient as possible with these tips:

• Seal leaks around doors, windows and electrical outlets to save up to 20% on your heating bill
• Clean your chimney and get vent systems checked
• Remove window air conditioners or, if they have to stay in place, make sure they’re caulked and sealed and have an insulated jacket
• Replace your old furnace with an energy efficient one to save up to 30% on your heating
• Upgrade the insulation in your home
• Add storm windows if you have single-pane windows
• Unblock any heating vents that might be covered by furniture or window coverings
