It feels pretty weird and it’s only been a year.
This year, I’m wrapping presents for the holidays in a small home that is cozy, moderate and the gas oil furnace isn’t on every hour.
This is a major change from the way that it was just 1 year ago, and for years before that. The difference is the fact that I got off our backside this fall and did something in order to save on heating repair. For several years, I had the intention to do winter preparation on our house in order to save money on the heating and utility costs. Where we live, winter is pretty intense and I end up spending way too much money on heating and utility costs. And that would be a single thing if it was entirely moderate in this house given all the money we shell out for heating, however, that isn’t the case and that was totally preventable. What legitimately spurred myself and others to do something extra about the heating costs this winter was a trip to the Heating plus Air Conditioning supplier website. I wanted to take a look to see if they had any vital information on how to prep my house in order to save on Heating plus Air Conditioning utility costs. Not only did they have vital information but they had a whole checklist that all I had to do was print out. From there I just took it step by step and slowly sealed our house so well that we are free of drafts and the house is legitimately warm. I’m stunned at how much we are saving so far on the heating costs as well. But the real winter weather is now in full swing so we’ll see if we save even more.
