Taking energy saving measures
My local section experiences more than three separate seasons. There are benefits to the variety of weather. Every one of us like months of warmth and sun and frigid and snow. Every one of us get to swim and kayak and snowmobile and ski. The Fall leaves are charming, and the ripe pickle, picklees, zucchini, grapes and apples at that time of year are delicious. In the Spring, we look forward to the tulips, daffodils, hyacinth and lilacs. Our temperature can swing from negative twenty numerous to the upper nineties. Every one of us deal with excessive and insufficient humidity, high winds, bitter wind chill and torrential downpours. The year round weather extremes make heating and cooling especially crucial. Temperature control adds up to about fifty percent of our household energy bills. I am always on the lookout for current and better ways to minimize energy waste and reduce costs. I have installed Energy Star rated, thermal pane windows and meticulously caulked around them. I’ve replaced the exterior doors and added weather stripping to eliminate drafts. I spent a weekend installing insulation into the attic. It was a hot, dirty and irritated job however it particularly helped to improve the comfort and efficiency of the home. The attic works as a barrier between the living space and the outdoor elements. Because heat tends to travel to cooler locations, it helps to keep the attic cooler in the summer time and warmer in the winter. I installed ceiling fans to push the heat down from the ceiling in the Winter time and encourage the heat up and out in the summer. I’ve also enrolled into a service plan with a licensed Heating, Ventilation and A/C business. A business takes care of troubleshooting, inspecting and decreasing the heating and cooling component to maximize efficiency and avoid malfunction.
