A mild day today, but as Winter creeps closer, so do colder temperatures and it's never too early to winterize your home.

Two main parts of weatherizing, or winterizing your home, are insulation and air sealing.

It's also a good time to check for carbon monoxide, seal windows and doors and install low-flow faucets.

Weatherizing saves money on wasted heating.

One Wake County Agency is helping people get prepared, using stimulus money.

"What that enables us to do is insulate and air seal and provide energy saving measures to not only save seniors and low income family money but at the same time save the reast of us green gases and fuel not being used," says Garman Troup with Resources for Seniors of Wake County.

More good news, once a home is weatherized, it saves money in the summer as well by keeping in cool air.
