Use duct sealants<\/strong> and fiberglass insulation<\/strong> – found at most hardware stores. This article provides more tips for cutting energy costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ventilate your kitchen and bathroom to reduce humidity and airborne pollutants. Use low-VOC paints<\/strong> on walls for a fresher home. If you have a fireplace, use real firewood<\/strong> instead of pressed wood which usually contains formaldehyde.

If you need extra storage space, use the spaces between wall studs or under the stairs. Consider investing in extra cabinets or even shoe organizers to store household items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another water-saving product worth mentioning is the low-flow showerhead<\/strong>, which reduces water flow while keeping the pressure high. If you have a pre-1994 toilet, consider replacing it with a low-flow toilet<\/strong> that requires just one gallon of water when flushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attach a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the heater and drain the water into a bucket or other recipient. This task will reduce the amount of sediment that built up in the water tank, prolonging the life of the heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emergency Water Damage Repair: 10 Things to Do Before Help Arrives in Los Angeles<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, you can always add other home maintenance project tasks to the resolutions list.
