To keep homes warm this winter and save some money along the way, residents should check all windows and doors or anywhere that cold air could be getting in.

Another simple test is placing a hand at the bottom of doors to check for drafts.
"Nobody wants to have expensive heating or cooling bills, for that matter, so doing some of these low-cost weatherization tips can really have an impact on the bottom line when when it comes to paying that utility bill," said Chad Brousseau, Business Accounts Executive with Cass County Electric.
