This is the season for large gatherings and colder weather, so it's a good idea to be thinking of ways to save on energy. Here are a few:

  1. Swith to energy efficient lightbulbs. With so many guests in your house, the lights, televisions, oven, etc. will be working overtime so switching to energy efficient bulbs will definitely help save some money. And the long-term savings will be a bonus.
  2. Change your air filter - A clogged or dirty air filter makes your Heating units work that much harder and a nice new filter will substantially reduce airborne dust/particles as well. If you have allergies, spend a few bucks extra for a better filter.
  3. Check your windows/doors for leaks. If needed, replace weather stripping (cheap) and save on heating bills.

Maybe you can use these money saving tips to free up some dough for a new gym membership after the holidays!
