One system that you can improve - and that goes throughout your home - is your hot water system. Locate any pipes that are exposed and that are used to deliver hot water to the different areas of your home. This problem will be solved very simply by wrapping the exposed pipes with inexpensive insulation you can buy at your home improvement center. It's just common sense that a pipe that is not insulated will quickly lose its heat. You need to stop this heat loss and, by wrapping the pipes, you will have accomplished this task. So, you will save money in two ways. The hot water will stay hot longer and, as a result, your water heater will be used less.

If you have never thought much about checking your home from time to time, then you have to begin doing that. What you should do every year is assess the integrity of any caulking that is in the home. This particular example will be about any caulk that is found in your home, and mainly around the windows. What you want to do is inspect for drying and cracking in the caulk. As caulk ages, it will certainly dry out, become brittle and begin chipping and breaking away. If your caulk is in poor condition, then simply remove the old caulk, clean the surface and replace with new material.
