So I’m for sure the heat miser around this place.
- But where we live, the heating costs are the serious chunk of our yearly utility costs.
And the price of HVAC heating just never goes down. That’s one of the constants around this region. We are very fortunate to enjoy good quality heating and air in a nice home. But it takes two adults working full time to keep the heating and cooling going, food on the table and the mortgage paid. So yea, I’m the one who is always reining in the amount of heating that is happening in our house. The winter is at least 5 months long up here and so I have to keep a bit of a lid on just how much HVAC heating we use. So the kids bought me an instant read temperature gun as a gag gift last Christmas. When I pulled it out, the entire extended family just cracked up. For sure, it was so on point and I thought it was just a gas really. But then, I got to thinking about that temp gun. And it turns out that this gag gift actually helped to save even more money. It dawned on me that I could use this temp gun to seal up the house even tighter in order for the gas furnace to run less. So outside I went with my temp gun just days after Christmas. And the thing worked but I was stunned to see just how many places needed to be caulked. Not only that by I found a big leak in the attic that required more insulation. I ended up saving another 15 percent on HVAC heating costs.
