Apply weather stripping to doors – Cold air can seep in through cracks around exterior doors and that means your heating system will work harder to keep your home warm. If you have old windows, you may want to check those too. Sealing cracks will help keep your home energy costs down.

 

 

 

So there you go. Simple, right? Little things can make a big difference in your home's comfort and efficiency.
