Rising energy costs make it more important than ever to take steps to winterize your home. Replacing leaky windows and doors, adding insulation, and upgrading your furnace to a high efficiency model can significantly cut your utility bills. For example, a standard gas furnace wastes about 30 cents of every heating dollar, but a furnace with a high efficiency rating squeezes the most out of the dollar (up to 97 cents). Look for the AFUE label (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). The higher the number, the more you'll save on your utility bills, although the initial price will be higher. When shopping for windows or doors look for the Energy Star label.
