Summer Bills 
Seal it Tight

• If your home has a fireplace, close the damper tightly when the fireplace is not in use.   
• Caulk your home’s doors and windows.   
• Weather strip doors to unheated/uncooled areas of your home such as the garage, crawl space and attic.   
• Wrap the air conditioning ducts with R-8 insulation and seal the seams with mastic. You can reduce your cooling cost by as much as 10 percent by insulating and tightening up ducts.   
• Repair leaky faucets. This is especially important for hot water faucets.
