- Insulate: Proper insulation is probably the single most important step you can take in energy conservation.
- Apply Caulking: Caulking around windows and door frames will seal cracks and keep cold air out.
- Make Sure Furnace Filters are Clean: Dirty filters cause poor heat circulation and wasted energy.
- Let the Sun Help Heat Your Business: Open your blinds during the day and let in warm sunlight. Close them at night to keep in the heat.
- Close the Outside Door: Just a few seconds with the door open can let in a lot of cold air.
- Check Your Furniture: Move chairs and sofas away from colder outside walls. Make sure furniture, draperies and rugs aren’t blocking heat flow into your room.
