City of Roswell Shares Tips To Conserve Water and Energy This Winter

As cold weather approaches, keeping warm and saving energy can be easy with the right preparation. The sun provides heat, so take advantage of it! Open the curtains on your south-facing windows during the day to absorb the sunlight and close them at night to reduce the chill from cold windows.

Prevent drafts and seal leaks by applying weather stripping trim to your doors or invest in insulating drapes for your windows to reduce drafts. Be sure to check utility cut-throughs for pipes and gaps around your chimney.

When you’re home and awake, set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature. When you’re sleeping or not home, lower it by 10 degrees to save up to 10% on your heating bills. A programmable thermostat enables you to set up auto schedules and adjust temperatures remotely.

Wrap pipes with insulation to prevent them from freezing and bursting. If a pipe is frozen, keep the faucet on and apply heat to thaw it slowly. Insulating hot water pipes will help your shower heat up faster and will also protect pipes from cold, which can cause leaks.

Maintenance is key. Has your furnace filter been replaced recently? Does your heating system need service? Is your fireplace flue snugly closed when not in use?

Apply good habits and banish the bad. Keep your bathroom at a comfortable temperature or invest in a space heater, so you aren’t tempted to linger in the shower, which wastes water and energy. Wearing layers traps body heat better than a single thick garment. Electric blankets consume less energy than a heater. Close the doors in your home, so you’re only heating the rooms you use.
