Weatherproof Your Home

Want to save some money in 2012? Look no further than your own home! By weatherproofing it, you'll be able to cut back utility bills and put a little money back in to your wallet.

Whether you're using your heater or your air conditioner, weatherproofing is an essential part of maximizing your air unit. Sealing areas such as door frames and window sills will go a long way in keeping air from escaping. Essentially, that means more heat inside in the winter and more cool air trapped inside in the summer.

Programmable thermostats range between $25-100 and will help you maximize air efficiency. The thermostat should contribute to about $200 off of your bill, therefore paying for itself and then some. Also, small tweaks to your set temperatures will go a long way in cutting costs--switching the thermostat by 2 degrees will save 5%, and more savings ensue as the temperature is adjusted.
