I live in an area that experiences four separate seasons throughout the year, and the summers are moderate in addition to humid while the winters are severely chilly in addition to snowy! Fall in addition to Spring are properly chilly, windy in addition to wet, while I appreciate the Spring flowers, Summer sunshine, Autumn colors in addition to winter activities, the weather presents some challenges, however my friend and I switch from running the heating system to starting up the air conditioner with little chop in-between.
The cost of temperature control adds up to around half of the household energy expenses, i’ve invested into an Energy Star rated heating system in addition to air conditioner to help minimize energy bills.
I am conscientious about replacing air filters in addition to scheduling professional repair for the heating in addition to cooling systems to maximize efficiency in addition to reliability. I’ve also taken proactive measures to reduce running costs; New windows were a significant investment but upgrading to thermal pane, low E rated glass has helped to minimize energy losses. Windows are properly the largest waste of energy in most homes. I’ve also added thermal-lined curtains that I close on chilly afternoons in the winter. Insulating the attic prevents the heated air from the heating system from migrating up in addition to out… Creating a tightly sealed attic space works to minimize moderate air moving into the living space during the summer. I take the time to check the condition of caulk around windows in addition to weatherstripping on the exterior doors every year. Just recently, I purchased a smart thermostat. The thermostat caters to my family’s schedule, laboring to reduce energy consumption when we’re sleeping or out of the house.
