With the lows in this week's forecast dropping well below freezing, it's time to make sure your home in Colorado Springs is well-insulated and ready to withstand the cold temperatures this winter will bring - without racking up high electric bills. 7 Tips To Make Your Home More Energy-Efficient If you haven't already, here are a few tricks you can try to make your home more energy-efficient this winter. 1. Upgrade Your Insulation Most homes are built with the minimum required amount of insulation, but this may not be enough to prevent much-needed heat from escaping into the outside air.

This week, The MacGuire Team is here to help you out with this quick checklist of a few helpful hints that can make your life much easier. 1. Make The Switch To LED Lighting For a long time, incandescent bulbs were the only kind of lighting used in homes.
