Time is Money
Save both by weatherizing your home
Why pay to heat your home then let hard-earned money go right out the window, door or attic?
As the saying goes, "Time is money." Save both this winter by keeping the heat inside with the following home weatherizing tips from Walton EMC Natural Gas.
Purchase a chimney
balloon that works as a
draft stopper.
Cut a piece of insulated foam
and insert it into the chimney
when not in use.
Repair a door threshold to
keep air from escaping
through cracks.
Roll up a towel and place it
in front of the opening.
Buy an attic stairwell cover to block
the transfer of air and moisture to/from
the attic to the home's living space.
Make your own attic cover.

for a video to show you how.
Purchase a programmable
thermostat.
Manually lower the
thermostat at night and
when you leave.
