Energy bills can get dramatically high, especially during Canada’s cold winter months. There are, however, steps you can take to conserve energy and save money at the same time. Below are our top eight Winter Home Energy Solutions that would like to share with you. 1 Switch Lights Off One of the simplest ways to reduce your energy use is by flicking off lights when you leave a room.... It’s also a good idea to switch to energy-efficient lighting. 2 Unplug Electronics Electronics that are plugged in still use energy, even when you’re not using them. By unplugging electronics and small appliances when you’re not using them, you will ensure that there is not additional energy being used up. 3 Use an Area Rug We like to be barefoot in our own space, but when our feet are cold, so is the rest of our body. Consider purchasing an area rug for rooms in your home that have cold floors. 4 Update Old Appliances Refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and washing machines that are a couple of decades old may be using significantly more energy than newer models. Sometimes the investment in a new major appliance will save you money in the long run. 5 Save Money on Water There are several ways you minimize water consumption. Low-flow shower heads and smaller toilets will minimize water output. You’ll also want to make sure you fix any leaky taps that might be constantly wasting water. 6 Replace Furnace Filters It’s a good idea to keep your furnace properly adjusted with annual maintenance. This will include cleaning or replacing your filters every couple of months to improve efficiency. 7 Seal Unwanted Leaks Caulking and sealing leaks will insulate your home better, which will save you money in the long run. You’ll want to make sure you’re buying the correct type of caulk, depending on what specifically needs to be sealed, and whether it is interior or exterior. 8 Turn Down the Temperature When you’re away from your house for a few days, you don’t need to keep the heat cranked up. By reducing the temperature when you’re out of the house, you can save money on heating costs. Another idea is to add an extra blanket on your bed and reduce the temperature by a couple of degrees at night.

#remembranceday In Flanders Fields BY JOHN MCCRAE... In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
