Winter time heating doesn’t have to be so expensive
There are plenty of ways to achieve the same results.
- This is something that I try to remind myself of on a near biweekly basis.
Often, I get caught up in attempting to work through something without absolutely thinking it through in order to consider the entire picture. So when I kept trying to save on Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C heating during the Winter time as well as failing, I had to absolutely take a step back as well as thing it through. I was approaching the reduction of my heating costs as though by a piecemeal strategy. Well really, there was no real strategy at all as well as that might have been my first clue. I then went about making a list of fluctuations as well as ideas on just how to get the heating bill down consistently as well as significantly. I started with the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C equipment. Having heating repair done in the fall ensured the oil furnace was laboring at its most efficient. Next, I made sure the home was sealed tight. I changed all the weather stripping as well as added plenty of new insulation. I even used a temperature gun to check the outside of my home for Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C heating leaks. Then I made sure I knew how to program the thermostat so it could have consistent settings throughout the day as well as evening. With just this amount of effort, I saved well over 20 percent on my heating costs last winter. That’s consistent as well as significant savings for the entire winter. Just doing a little bit of planning as well as then committing to that plan absolutely made all the difference in my attempt to get heating savings.
