Keep your living space cozy and energy-efficient with these simple tips: ✔ Turn off electronics when not in use – TVs and gaming consoles still use power in standby mode! ✔ Use a ceiling fan – Helps circulate air, reducing heating and cooling costs. ✔ Close the fireplace damper – Prevents warm or cool air from escaping when not in use. ✔ Arrange furniture wisely – Keep vents clear for better airflow and efficiency.
