It took the threat of super high heating costs to finally get myself and others off my couch and into preparing the beach house for winter.
This is a chore that I have repeatedly and conveniently allowed to slip by each year. Then all I did all Winter was complain about the cost of running the gas furnace as much as every one of us do. It’s just such a stupid cycle that it sort of embarrasses myself and others to confess to it. I’d complain about the gas furnace running too much however it was running too much because the beach house wasn’t prepared for winter. The whole thing when it comes to preparing a beach house for Winter is to get it as slender as possible. The tighter the house, the less Heating and Air Conditioning heating is leaking out and frigid is coming in. All of us have had some wicked drafts in this beach house that always robbed us of Heating and Air Conditioning heating. And what do you do when you’re being robbed of heating? You turn up the control component for more. So when I started studying about the really high cost of heating this winter, it got myself and others busy. Along with having the Heating and Air Conditioning specialist come out for the heating maintenance, I got tied up sealing up our beach beach house as slender as I could get it. A big point of emphasis for myself and others was the entrances. I updated all the weather stripping along with the storm doors. I also found the source of those drafts in a pair of windows that needed to be properly insulated. So far, my efforts are really paying off. Even with the rise in Heating and Air Conditioning heating costs, our energy bills have been much lower than past years.
