Winter Months are Coming

From Jeffrey Orloff, About.com GuideOctober 4, 2006

The winter months are coming and for most people, that means cold, cold weather. Before the chills move in it would be a good idea for homeowners to start to winterize their homes. Since up to 56% of a home's energy usage comes from heating and cooling, it is a good idea to start getting ready early.

If you are ready to buy a new furnace or heating unit for your home, now is the time as well. Not only does this give you plenty of time to start researching for an Energy Star model, but you will have time to compare energy guides and possible tax credits for qualifying heating units.

Regardless of what course of action you take, it is important to get started now before the cold fronts sweep across the country and your energy bills begin to rise.
