Many residents and businesses are compiling spring cleaning lists as most of the nation thaws from one of the coldest and snowiest winters on record. Spring should also trigger energy-efficiency and safety checklists including the often forgot attic insulation. Here are some checklist ideas to consider:
1. Check the insulation in the attics of homes and offices.
2. Change Smoke Detector Batteries
3. Dust Dust Dust
4. Update Thermostats
5. Tune Up A/C System Beyond Changing The Filter
6. Clean Sliding Glass Door Tracks
7. Reduce Water Heater Temperature
8. Reset Light Timers
9. Redirect Ceiling Fans

Cleaning your glass door tracks sounds like a silly tip, but it's actually really effective. I remember being given that idea and trying it out and watching my bill drop a few dollars. For a few minutes of work, it really adds up. Thanks for haring these for everyone.

My house is old and has terrible insulation, but I try to so what I can to keep the air conditioning from slipping away. These are all great tips for checking the attic. I will consider fixing my attic to get better insulation.

I know I'm guilty of overlooking my attic's insulation. It seems like it could really do you some good to check it out periodically. Saving money is always a good thing so making sure that your insulation is up to par is a good idea. Thanks for the reminders.

Thanks for sharing this advice. I have to admit, my wife and I never thought check the attic insulation in our house. It's probably been over a year since we've been up there at all. I will definitely go ahead and check that before winter gets here.

It is interesting how much energy can escape through a room that hasn't been insulated. Often times people think that it is only themselves that suffer from procrastinating this type of thing. However, when you waste energy like this you are needlessly polluting the environment. I will be sure to check my attic and offices this year so that I can be cozy and green this winter!
