When I spoke to some friends about energy saving tips, I was able to learn a few things.
This was when I first became a homeowner, so this was mostly new territory for me.
One of the first things I had to learn was how to tighten up the home so as to prevent HVAC treated air from getting outside. I learned that it’s necessary to put plastic on the windows to help prevent energy loss. It’s also good to use a humidifier. I had no clue that a humidifier could make it feel so much more comfortable inside the household while we were in the winter, it undoubtedly makes a difference, when you are using the humidifier, you can actually afford to adjust the thermostat by a few degrees to save cash and you don’t lose hardly any comfort while saving on the energy bills. One neighbor said that I needed to focus on cooking outdoors more while we were in the warm season and inside while we were in the winter. This wasn’t something I would have thought about, however it’s an unquestionably good energy saving tip, and my neighbor said if you do have to cook inside in the warm season, you should use the microwave more or possibly an indoor grill like the George Foreman type. I actually have one of those grills and I was happy to use it instead of cranking on the stove all the time. I do get outside to grill often though in the summer because it’s just something I like doing. I hope one day, I will be able to hand down some energy saving tips to my kids.
