There are a few tips and tricks to help you save both money and energy during the winter season.

Be sure your attic is well insulated, as attics can account for nearly 80% of heat and energy loss in homes. Cover up the cracks at the bottom of your doors to make sure no heat gets out or no cold air gets in, and insulate your windows with caulk or plastic.

There are several products out there that will help insulate your house and lower your bills- Just check your local hardware store.
