I live in an part that experiences four separate seasons throughout the year, and the summers are tepid as well as humid while the winters are seriously cold as well as snowy, however fall as well as Springtime are respectfully cold, windy as well as wet; While I care about the Springtime flowers, summer time sunshine, Autumn colors as well as winter activities, the weather presents some challenges! My friend and I switch from running the boiler to starting up the air conditioner with little break in-between. The cost of temperature control adds up to around half of the home energy expenses. I’ve invested into an Energy Star rated boiler as well as air conditioner to help minimize energy costs. I am conscientious about replacing air filters as well as scheduling professional service for the heating as well as cooling systems to maximize efficiency as well as 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 respectfully the largest waste of energy in most homes. I’ve also added thermal-lined curtains that I close on cold evenings in the winter. Insulating the attic prevents the heated air from the boiler from migrating up as well as out; Creating a tightly sealed attic space works to minimize tepid air moving into the living space during the summer. I take the time to check the condition of caulk around windows as well as weatherstripping on the exterior doors every year; Just recently, I bought a smart control unit. The control equipment caters to my family’s schedule, working to reduce energy consumption when we’re sleeping or out of the house.
