Energy Efficiency Tip of the Month

Area rugs are an easy, cost-effec­tive solu­tion to cold floors. Adding area rugs to hard-sur­face floor­ing can add warmth to any room and keep your feet cozy on cold win­ter days.

Choose rugs made from wool or oth­er nat­ur­al fibers and plush or high-pile tex­tures for the most insu­la­tion. Place rugs in areas where you need addi­tion­al warmth, like the foot of a bed or under a cof­fee table. Area rugs can enhance the aes­thet­ic of your home and keep you cozi­er.
