Once again, the HVAC bill has its summer time bloat going on.
- That bloat is sucking our trifold dry.
Writing the utility check in the summer time is akin to paying for a unquestionably expensive getaway. The rising utility costs are just astounding. I remember rolling our eyes at our dad when she would yell at us about leaving a door ajar while the HVAC was running. Now, I sure understand where she was coming from. I do the unquestionably same thing to our kids. This year I decided I wasn’t simply going to kneel around plus watch the HVAC eat up such a chunk of our household budget. Instead, I did a quick bit of research plus got proactive about saving some money. The HVAC component is only a few years seasoned but, I could have gone a little higher on the SEER number. However, with a few changes, I was still able to make the HVAC component far more efficient. First, I attacked the direct sunlight heating. Where the two of us live, the summer time is brutal tepid plus the sunlight is a constant. I like the sunlight plus where I live but, I had to do more about how direct sunlight was robbing me. Every one of us put up special solar drapes to split out nearly all the heating due to direct sunlight exposure. Then, the two of us made sure that the two of us were keeping as much of the HVAC treated air in the lake house as possible. This didn’t take too much. In fact, I was able to seal all the cracks plus gaps around our home in a weekend. But, the largest change was 1 that I knew would be the most difficult. I decided that our lake house temperature needed to go up as the outside temps rose.
