It’s going to be a actually odd sort of Winter in our house this year.
It will be the first time that I don’t let the heating bill linger on the living room table for afternoons before opening it.
This is one of our least number one quarterly rituals in the winter. This is because the cost of heating our house has been steep plus climbing over the years. But over all these years, I just choked back our angst plus paid the heating bill. Not this year. When I started studying reports that this Winter could be the most extravagant in recent memory, I paid attention. And honestly, it was way overdue for me to get off our butt plus get the house prepped for Winter anyway. I’m embarrassed actually that I hadn’t made the effort for all of these years. What’s even more embarrassing is that it actually didn’t take that much plus our house was in desperate need of tightening up. That’s actually the whole crux of the strategy to save on Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C heating. Just seal up the house so that the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C heating isn’t leaking out plus there isn’t a draft pulling cold air in. I was sort of stunned to find that both of us had 2 windows that were clearly not insulated constantly. Fixing that alone was a immense factor in reducing our heating costs. I also updated weather stripping plus one storm door. The last thing I did was to roll out some added insulation in the attic. I’m actually anxiously awaiting our first heating bill for a full week of Winter to see how much we’ll save.
