Your friends at Drew’s Roofing and Home Repair have some tips for you to cut those costs without sacrificing comfort.  Here are our top four suggestions.

– Insulated curtains – Actually a good idea for winter and summer, insulated curtains keep the warm air and cool air inside.  The insulation of the curtains works with the rest of your home insulation to keep you nice and toasty warm.  Not sure where to find insulated curtains?  Amazon.com is a good start, searching under ‘insulated curtains.’

– Drafty areas – Energy loss can happen to anyone.  It is not a large, gaping hole that will give you an idea that you have energy loss, but it is often several smaller holes that are sapping your energy from the home.  Have Drew’s Roofing and Home Repair come and take a look.  We have experience in dealing with drafty mobile homes and where to find the most common culprits.  We find them; we take care of it for you quickly and easily.

– Plant shrubs around the skirting – Your skirting around the home is a barrier because most mobile homes do not have heavy insulation around the floor.  A set of ornamental shrubs will help cut down on drafts that can work its way under your home.  Any quality nursery can help you find the perfect shrubs to go around your home.

– Water heater – If you adjust your hot water with cooler water, you may want to consider lowering the temperature as much as 20 degrees.  Most home water heaters come factory set at 140 degrees, and for most mobile homes, it is too much.  Again, leave it to the professionals for the best results.
