At Habberjam At Home, we prioritize family-like customer service and making your home more comfortable without adding unnecessary expenses. In this article, the experts at Habberjam At Home outline home energy efficiency tips for fall in Edmonton.
Optimize Your Heating System
Before the first snow falls, schedule a routine maintenance check for your home heating system. This ensures your furnace operates at peak efficiency, and that filters are changed regularly to improve air quality and efficiency. A well-maintained furnace can last longer and save on energy costs!

Seal Drafts and Insulate Wisely
To enhance your home’s energy efficiency, start by sealing drafts. Check for gaps around windows, doors, and other openings where warm air can escape. Using weather stripping or caulk can help seal these areas effectively.
In addition to sealing drafts, proper insulation plays a key role in maintaining energy efficiency. If your home’s insulation needs improvement, consider upgrading it to prevent heat loss and keep your home comfortable during the colder months.

Consider Smart Thermostats
Investing in a smart thermostat can drastically improve your home’s energy efficiency. These devices learn your schedule and adjust temperatures, optimizing energy use. According to Natural Resources Canada (NRC), homeowners can save nearly 8% on heating costs by using a smart thermostat. Better yet – Canadians can take advantage of NRC energy efficiency initiatives like the Canada Greener Homes Loan, where they can apply for interest-free financing to help make their homes more energy efficient and comfortable!

Maintain Your Water Heater
Your water heater can be a significant energy consumer. Insulate your water heater and the first few feet of hot and cold water pipes to minimize heat loss. Also, consider lowering the thermostat to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to save energy.

Leverage Natural Heat
During sunny days, open curtains and blinds to let natural sunlight warm your home. At night, close them to retain heat. This simple act can help regulate your home’s temperature and reduce reliance on heating systems.
