Massachusetts Window Replacement Company Provides Helpful Tips For Saving Energy

By Hellen Moare


In winter, your energy bills can be high, especially in times of very cold weather. Also, air conditioning bills can be just as high in summer. Here are some helpful tips from your North Brookfield MA replacement windows company, to help you cut those energy costs.

This could be a good time to replace your heating and cooling thermostat, as a programmable model comes with a lot of benefits, and are not expensive. The money you save can be substantial. Also, they are not that hard to install.

Programming your new wall thermostats is not rocket science. In cold weather, lower the house temperature a little for the time everyone is sleeping. By the time you awaken the temperature can be back to normal. You can also have the house much cooler while everyone is at work or school.

Let the sun help you heat your home in winter. Open drapes facing the sun (east side of the house) during the morning and close them in the evening. Open west facing drapes in the afternoon, and close them at sunset. This passive heat can add extra warmth and you may be able to set the temperature a little lower and still be comfortable.

In summer, refrain from using your clothes dryer or oven during the hottest part of the afternoon. Try to schedule baking or clothes drying during early morning or late at night. You will heat the house up less and this is easier on your air conditioning system and makes it more efficient.

A house window is one of the biggest sources of heat loss in the home. Consider installing North Brookfield MA replacement windows in your house. You can save a great deal of money on energy and your investment will pay for itself after a few years.
