How to save energy (and dollars) this winter

CHICAGO, GURNEE, HOFFMAN ESTATES, NAPERVILLE, TINLEY PARK, IL … 

Winter in greater Chicago means spending a good portion of your time indoors. And while you want to keep your home warm, comfortable and cozy, that can run up quite a tab for your heating and electricity costs. As the leading home improvement and furnishings club, DirectBuy, with several locations in greater Chicago, has some helpful tips on heating your home more efficiently and keeping your electric bills in check.

“It goes without saying that during these tough economic times, homeowners want to save wherever possible,” said I.J. Sell, owner of DirectBuy of Tinley Park. “What’s amazing is that just by following a few simple steps, you can reduce your heating and electric bills significantly.”

Here are few things homeowners can do:

 

  • Set the thermostat no higher than 68 degrees when you are home, lowering the temperature at night and when you’re out.
  • Reverse the direction of your ceiling fans and run at a slow speed. This creates a gentle updraft and re-circulates the warmer air trapped at the ceiling to provide even, comfortable heat throughout a room.
  • On sunny days, open the shades and curtains on the side of your home facing the sun to take advantage of the heat benefits. Make sure to close the shades and curtains at night for the opposite reason.
  • Be wary of blocking your radiators or heating vents with furniture or drapes. To maximize heat from your radiator, place a sheet of aluminum foil between the radiator and the wall to reflect heat back into the room.
  • Replace all the lights in your high-traffic areas with compact fluorescent light bulbs. Replacing 25 percent of your lights with these bulbs can reduce your lighting expenses by 50 percent.
  • Weatherize your home by caulking and weather-stripping all doors and windows. Be sure to lock your windows to make them tighter and draft-resistant.

“There are few things more brutal than a Chicago winter. Yet by following some or all of these simple steps, you can keep your home comfortable and manage to save a bit on your heating and electric bills,” said Sell.

For more than 38 years, DirectBuy has offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, flooring and accessories by purchasing from over 700 brand-name manufacturers and their authorized suppliers. With several convenient locations in greater Chicago (Chicago, Gurnee, Hoffman Estates, Naperville, and Tinley Park), consumers can enjoy a comfortable setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.

Dreaming of a green Christmas

CHEEKTOWAGA, NY

Bing Crosby had a white one. Elvis was blue. And while a “green” Christmas might not lend itself to song as well as those other colors, celebrating the holiday season in a greener, more environmentally friendly way is certainly desirable. DirectBuy of Buffalo, the leading home improvement and furnishing club, has some helpful tips on being greener with you holiday celebrations.

“The holidays are a great time of year to get together with family and friends, but the amount of waste is really astounding,” said Mark Klinger, owner of DirectBuy of DirectBuy of Buffalo.

How much waste? Consider more than one million greeting cards are thrown away every year. Or that the lights used to decorate your home produce enough carbon dioxide to inflate 12 balloons. Worse yet, the 51-plus miles of wrapping paper used once and then thrown away.

So, how can you have a greener holiday season? Try:

  • LED instead of your classic holiday lights. LEDs last 80 to 90 percent longer. The price for strands of LED lights are roughly the same as those classic lights. And if everyone switched to LEDs in their household, the savings alone would be enough to power 200,000 homes for a year. 
  • Turn off your lights and electronic devices when not in use. Even in standby mode these items can consume 15 percent of your household’s electricity.
  • Using real glasses and dishes instead of disposable ones for your holiday party. Also, go with cloth tablecloths instead of throwaways.
  • Sending online cards instead of mailing paper holiday cards. Or make an online photo album yourself and circulate the link to family and friends.
  • Giving presents that aren’t actual items that have to be stored but experiences—e.g. horseback riding lessons, a massage, or even a gift certificate for a class at your local continuing education facility.
  •  Re-using grocery bags or posters from old magazines and decorating them yourself for wrapping paper. If that’s a little too work-intensive, you can also purchase a recycled version of the traditional wrapping paper that you can buy online.
  • Buying a real tree this year. Surprised? Artificial trees are petroleum based and non-biodegradable. The process of making them includes metal and derivatives of PVC and the by-products such as led harm both humans and the environment. Instead, buy a potted tree that you can later plant in your garden and possibly use next year.

 “The holidays really are a time for us to reflect back on the year and be grateful for the many gifts we do have. One of those gifts is the very earth we live on,” said Klinger. “By following just a few of these green suggestions, you can make a difference in your carbon imprint and, perhaps, even enjoy a more memorable holiday season knowing you’re making your corner of the world a little greener.”

Draw play… Glenview resident scores Bears tickets in DirectBuy contest.

CHICAGO, IL …

As the leading home improvement and home furnishings club offering direct insider prices, DirectBuy specializes in helping members get more for less. Glenview resident Juan Gomez is a fine example of that. By visiting DirectBuy to learn more about a membership, he was entered in a raffle that won him two tickets to the Chicago Bears versus St. Louis Rams game on December 6, 2009 as part of a special promotion put on by DirectBuy of Chicago North and DirectBuy of Lake County.

“Congratulations to Juan Gomez for winning the two tickets to the Bears-Rams game,” said Brent Gilliland, managing partner of DirectBuy of Chicago North. “Judging by the number of participants we had, this was no small accomplishment, and we hope he had a great time at the game.”

Gomez’s victory marked the end of DirectBuy’s month-long football celebration. Leading up to the drawing, fans who attended an Open House at either DirectBuy of Chicago North or DirectBuy of Lake County received a piece of authentic NFL apparel and were entered into a drawing for the aforementioned tickets to the Bears-Rams game (members of the general public were also invited to enter). The winner was drawn on November 30, 2009.

“This was a really fun promotion for a lot of reasons. First and foremost, we have a lot of football fans among our members, guests and staff,” said Mark Perry, managing partner at DirectBuy of Lake County. “Since we border Wisconsin, a good many of our guests are Packers fans, yet the promotion still managed to create a buzz that made it a good time for even the most ardent Cheesehead.”

DirectBuy offers everything football fans could possibly need to watch the game from home — flat screen TVs, recliners and home theater seating, even kegerators for your den or entertainment room — at direct insider prices from your favorite brand names. In addition, each DirectBuy club employs product specialists and designers who can help members create the “man cave” or entertainment room that works best for their home.

For more than 38 years, DirectBuy clubs have offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories by purchasing from over 700 brand-name manufacturers and authorized suppliers. With several convenient locations in the greater Chicago area (Chicago, Gurnee, Hoffman Estates, Naperville, and Tinley Park), consumers can enjoy a comfortable, country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.
