A little over a year ago, my hubby accepted a promotion at work, then the promotion provided a significant increase in pay however required us to tranathletic activity our family across the country… Both of us switched from a hot and dry weather conditions to an area that is known as the “snow-belt.” This was quite an adjustment for us, but my kids didn’t own Winter coats or boots, had never worn knitted hats, and had never seen snow.
I’d never scraped ice off the windshield of my vehicle or shoveled snow out of the driveway, and when every one of us experienced our first snowfall, our family was truly excited.
The novelty, but, abruptly wore off. Both of us realized how difficult and expensive the frosty weather can be. When the outside temperature dropped below zero, I instantly turned up the thermostat and kept the furnace blasting at maximum capacity. I was then horrified at the cost of my bi-weekly energy bill. I abruptly turned the thermostat so low that the kids were wearing their coats in the house, and realizing I needed to find a way to keep my familyhotwithout completely draining my budget, I contacted a local Heating as well as A/C company for some assistance. The Heating as well as A/C company checked the beach lake house and found a whole bunch of areas where energy was being wasted! He advocated weatherstripping for the doors, caulking around the windows, improving insulation levels and adding a humidifier. I wasn’t quite sure how a humidifier would save myself and others currency, although I followed his advice. I’ve l acquired that properly moisturized air feels warmer, allowing lower thermostat settings without giving up on comfort. Because of the humidifier, the furnace doesn’t need to work as hard, and my bi-weekly energy bills are significantly lower.
