For this week's Wattsmart Wednesday, Rocky Mountain Power shares tips to weatherize your home to prepare for the winter season.
Jona Whitesides, Rocky Mountain Power Spokesperson, gave us some ways to do just that:
- Air sealing
- Installing qualified insulation
- Flushing your water heater
- Adjusting the thermostat temperature
- Changing the direction of ceiling fans to clockwise
- Keeping your HVAC system in top condition
Jona also says you can inexpensively protect pipes by wrapping it in a pool noodle from a dollar store.
You may also want to weather stripping as well around doors and windows.
Once your project is complete, you could possibly get a rebate.
