Swap out your lightweight curtains to heavy duty draft protection to shield you from the cool conditions
Install a programmable thermostat like a Nest or Ecobee that will ensure your home stays in an eco-friendly condition (not too hot, not too cold - just right!). If you already have a programmable thermostat, make sure the settings are adjusted for slightly cooler temperatures

#BonusTip!! Install an Air Purification System like The REME HALO® is an in-duct air purifier that utilizes RGF’s proprietary Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy technology. Installed into the supply plenum of your existing air conditioning or heating system air ducts, the REME HALO® in-duct air purifier produces Hydro-Peroxide plasma that is distributed through the air handler, through the duct system and into the conditioned living space. Unlike passive air technologies, which need pollutants to pass through the unit for purification or filtration, the REME HALO® in-duct air purifier sweeps through your home actively purifying pollutants at the source. In addition, the charged plasma induces particles to coagulate or stick together making them bigger and easier for your filter to catch. Hydroperoxides occur naturally in the earth’s atmosphere and are part of nature’s process of cleaning the air. You can reduce common allergy triggers from particulates such as pollen, mold spores, dander and dust. Thoroughly tested on airborne and surface bacteria & viruses, such as MRSA, e-coli, and Norwalk, to name a few. Eliminates odors from cooking, pets, dirty socks, diaper pails, and musty rooms.
