HOW TO SAVE ENERGY AT HOME
- HVAC filter – ask your community’s maintenance team to change this every month! This is how to save on heating costs in an apartment setting most effectively.
- Windows and Doors – ensure windows and doors are closed tightly and that there aren’t any drafts.
- Consider weatherizing drafty windows by applying plastic over them.
- Drafty doors? Check the condition of your front door sweep and submit a maintenance request if it needs to be replaced.
- Adjust your thermostat – wearing warm clothing is a good alternative to turning up your heat. But use common sense of course and turn up the heat if you’re cold!
- Vents – ensure furniture isn’t covering up any vents which would restrict warm air flow to the rest of your home.
These are just a few of the ways to save on heating and to make your apartment a little more energy efficient. Our maintenance teams are happy to help if you have any questions on how to accomplish any of these energy-saving tasks.
