This Halloween, let the ghoul times roll by casting an energy efficiency spell on your home. Follow these simple tips to scare up some savings on your energy costs.

Clear off the cobwebs. Schedule a fall furnace tuneup and change the filter to improve your system’s efficiency and fend off any spooky surprises this winter.

Don’t let your furnace put a spell on you. Lower your thermostat 8 degrees while you’re away collecting candy. Better yet, install a smart and programmable thermostat and set the temperature to your schedule for increased savings.

Perfect your potion. Match your cauldron size with a similar-sized burner. Your witches’ brew will cook more efficiently and be ready in no time.

Ward off goosebumps. Is that chill in the air something sinister, or just a drafty window? Use caulk, weatherstripping or window film kits to seal gaps and cracks around your home and keep warm air inside to save energy.
