Get Ready For Winter with an Energy Efficient Home
With a brisk chill in the Milwaukee air, there’s no denying that winter is coming. While we’re all loving how long autumn is hanging around this year, we know that it won’t last forever. So, have you started to prepare your home for winter? Are you wondering about ways to increase energy-efficiency and keep a few extra dollars in your savings account? Our team at Bazaar Home Decorating has put together some tips and tricks that will help you get ready for winter and create a more energy efficient home. Check them out to add the kind of warmth, coziness, and energy savings that you’ll be grateful for all season long.
Stay Warm and Organized
Would you love to save up to 4% on your heating bill? Did you know that it’s as easy as throwing on a sweater? By wearing a warm sweater, you can keep the temperature of your home slightly cooler while still being comfortable. This is one of the simplest ways to give your heater and your wallet a break during the winter. So, dig out your warm layers and snuggle up to energy savings you can feel! Having trouble finding those sweaters in your closet? Then, consider preparing for winter by getting organized. We can help you create a custom organization system for your bedroom, garage, pantry, or office that’ll have you spending less time searching for what you need and more time enjoying the holidays, your family, your favorite winter sports, or whatever it is that makes you smile on the coldest of days. Let an organized, energy efficient home be your winter wonderland this year.
Get Smart
These days, small devices can do big things. Smart technology continually puts massive convenience and power in the very palms of our hands, and a more energy efficient home is now available at the touch of a button. As you tap and touch your smart thermostat, it learns your schedule and coordinating temperature preferences. Then, it programs itself to fit your individual lifestyle with every changing season. Tapping the PowerView app is another way to enjoy luxurious convenience and energy-efficiency in your home and life. It’s well known that your windows affect the temperature of your home. If you’re like most, you don’t have time to raise and lower your shades all day, and night, long to take advantage of warming rays of sunshine and to ward off cold, frosty drafts. With the PowerView app, though, you can set scenes and schedule your shades to move automatically. You can even have PowerView determine the sunrise and sunset times in your area and move your shades with the sun. It’s really never been easier–or smarter–to save energy, time, and money than with PowerView automated window shades.
Dress Your Windows
Just like you need some protection from the winter cold, your home does too. Bare windows mean a cooler home and higher energy costs. As heated air circulates throughout your house, it brushes up against your chilly windows and loses some of its heat energy. When it moves back into your rooms, its temperature has dropped–which means your home’s temperature drops too. To keep your home snugly warm and your heating bill lower this winter, you can dress your windows. No need to knit sweaters for them; just look for beautiful shades, like Duette Honeycomb Shades, that have a cellular design. By trapping warm air in pockets at the window, these insulating shades create a barrier that stops your home’s warm air from cooling off. You’ll be cozy, comfortable, and surrounded by incredible style and sophistication. Plus, with the Season of Style Event, you can have an energy efficient home at the best price of the year. Throw in the money you’ll save in heating costs, and there’s no way you won’t be smiling this winter.
