BEFORE THE WINTER WOO'S

                               MOTHER EARTH

We are at a new season in an ever changing world.

It's time to bring out the blanket's and secure windows

and door's in many northern locations. Some things to

keep in mind to help save you money insuring health

and wellness as winter moves in.

A. Update your thermostat, to a programmable one. This way you can mange the thermostat unit to save heat while you sleep and wake up to a toasty home in the morning.

B. Weatherize your Doors and Windows, cost averages around $100. yet you'll save more than $200. yearly.  First apply water based acrylic caulk to seal small leaks around doors and windows. Second apply weather stripping to your door frame to seal air leaks. Last apply shrink film to old windows, single pane windows. to keep cold air out and warm inside. 

C. Insulate Water Heater (Pipes) Cost $30. yearly savings $200. Exposed hot water pipes can lower temperatures at the tap by as many as 4 degrees. Insulating these exposed pipes on your water heater with foam sleeves or fiberglass cost less than $30. and will save 5 times in savings via heating cost. An insulating blanket for the tank of your water heater cost about $20. but will save you up to 9% on your heating bill.

D. Cover Wall Openings: wiring, outlets and outdoor faucets.

ARM YOURSELF WITH A HOME HEALTH CARE PLAN!            

 Be sure to have on hand fresh and dried herbs, vegetables, and fruit which supports healthy immunity. One of my favorites is Dandelion leaves as it works wonders when eaten fresh at the onset

 

of a cold or flu, to help keep at bay. Green leafy vegetables as kale and spinach support immunity and a host of nature's best should be kept available in the event of inclement weather, for healthy bodies.
