There are a number of cost-effective ways to winterize your home and keep cold-weather heating bills in check. Cleaning the gutters and flushing the water heater are two such tasks that can be done for free. If you have a ceiling fan, changing its direction to clockwise will push warm air down. For a little money, you can add insulation film to your windows and draft guards under your doors. Similarly, weather stripping, caulk and fiberglass insulation don’t cost much. You can replace filters on your central air and heating systems or use a chimney balloon to prevent heat loss. Even a programmable thermostat can be bought.
