Seal out the cold from your love nest with your Valentine! These energy saving tips make it easier to spend more on your romance later!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do you have hot plans for Valentines Day this year? Are you turning up the heat inside your love nest because it’s leaking like a sieve? Seal your home with more than a kiss this Wednesday by spending some quality time together around the house. The couple that saves together stays together and this is the perfect opportunity. Check out these quick and easy<\/a> energy efficiency tips to warm your heart and home this Valentines Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sealing Your Home With More Than A Kiss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cracks and gaps around your doors and windows can lead to uncomfortable drafts that raise your Ohio energy<\/a> bills. Spend some time and bust out the weather stripping. Self-adhesive weather stripping is easy to install around the bases of window sashes and around door frames. It\u2019s super inexpensive too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caulk About Energy Tips Through The Night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Caulk can also be really effective for sealing those pesky little gaps outside. Take a walk together outside to hunt under windows, around door frames, at corners, and behind vents. All of those places are typical spots for drafts to sneak through. Find and caulk them shut together! Also keep an eye out for mouse holes or other critter entrances. Animals not only cause damage to your home, but can damage electricity wires, costing you more in the long run if you don’t plug them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm Up With This Energy Tip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What better way to celebrate Valentines Day than getting your home all nice and snuggly. Adding insulation to your roof cuts down on heat transfer during the winter months. It also helps reduce heat transfer from your roof during the summer. That means cost savings for you year-round. Why raise your bill<\/a> by heating the outside when you can stay warm with your honey inside?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe Skip The Valentines Balloons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Balloons are super sweet and cute but can damage your Ohio electric utility’s power lines. Recently, a stray balloon caused a 600 home power outage<\/a> in Cleveland. If you want to give balloons to your “sweet baboo” to celebrate the special day, don\u2019t let them drift off into the sky. First Energy<\/strong><\/a> has suggested to deflate mylar balloons and keep them secure with weights if they\u2019re outside. And never attempt to retrieve a balloon that has gotten close to a power line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Couple That Saves Together Stays Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While home maintenance might not be the most romantic thing you can do for Valentines Day, the money you\u2019ll save over time will absolutely be worth it. Especially because you might be able to spend more on romance next year! And, if you\u2019re in the market for other long term savings, consider switching your electricity plan now! Rates are falling and you can shop the best rates at www.ohenergyratings.com<\/a>. You can score some big savings on your electricity to put towards that big romantic getaway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
