Simple Tips from the #1 ERA Team in NKY & Greater Cincinnati
As temperatures drop across Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, your home shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort for efficiency. A few small improvements now can make a big difference — keeping your home warm, energy bills low, and your wallet happy.
Here are some tried-and-true tips from This Girl Sells Houses Team, backed by over 25 years of experience and 913+ successful closings helping local homeowners:
Seal Those Drafts
Cold air has a sneaky way of finding its way in. Use weatherstripping or caulk around windows and doors to seal gaps. It’s a quick, affordable fix that can reduce heat loss and make your home feel instantly cozier.
Add Insulation Where It Counts
Your attic and basement are key culprits for heat loss. Poor insulation can waste up to 25% of your home’s warmth. Upgrading insulation helps your furnace work less — saving money and energy.
Smart Thermostat = Smart Savings
A programmable or smart thermostat automatically adjusts temperatures when you’re asleep or away, trimming up to 10% off your annual heating costs. Plus, you can control it from your phone while you’re out exploring the Tri-State area!
Service Your HVAC System
A quick tune-up ensures your system is running efficiently (and safely). Don’t forget to replace air filters regularly — it helps air flow freely and prolongs the life of your unit.
Reverse Those Ceiling Fans
Switch your ceiling fans to rotate clockwise in the winter. It circulates warm air downward, keeping rooms evenly heated without cranking up the thermostat.
Small Changes, Big Savings
Even a few of these upgrades can cut costs, increase comfort, and boost your home’s long-term value. And if you’re thinking about selling this season or prepping for spring, energy-efficient improvements are a major plus for buyers.
