Electrical • Use energy efficient light bulbs. • Turn lights and other electric items off when you finish using them or leave the room. Maintenance Tips • Caulk during dry weather when temperatures are moderate. Check all locations such as: −− Foundation penetrations (electrical, phone, water, cable TV, and gas line entrances). −− Around fans and vents. −− Joints between door or window frames and siding. • Check weather stripping on all exterior doors and adjust as needed. • Ensure that door thresholds are a good fit — most are adjustable. • Do not store items in the attic where they would compress the insulation.
