Weatherization
Tips | Help With Heating
Bills
Winter is
coming! Make sure that your house is ready
for the freezing temperatures. By being
prepared, you can save money on your heating bills
and save headaches from burst pipes and damaged
roofs, gutters, and walls. One of the
easiest ways to reduce your heating bill is by
preventing the warm air inside from leaking
outside. Start by making sure that all of
your doors and windows are in good condition, then
caulk and weatherstrip around them. Ensure
that your walls and ceilings are sufficiently
insulated. Rugs on floors and heavy drapes at the
windows can also protect against cold
drafts.Keep your heating
system operating efficiently for both safety
reasons and energy savings. Get your furnace
serviced regularly. Read

Homeownership
Orientation 
Thinking about
purchasing a home?Maybe you don't know
where to start. Maybe you looked at homes in
the past but for some reason put your search on
hold. Maybe you don't think you will qualify for a
mortgage. Maybe your "bad" credit isn't as
bad as you think, or can be improved with a little
direction. Maybe you don't have all the
answers, or even know any of the questions. TRIP's HomeOwnership
Center can help answer some of your
questions, and help you to generate more of your
own.
What's your first
step?
