Okay, it’s mid June and I’m sure all of my family has had quite enough of my victory lap from the Heating plus Air Conditioning heating of this past winter.
- But I finally did something right when it came to heating this home and controlling the costs of the gas oil furnace.
Where all of us live, the Winter is long, freezing and unrelenting. For sure, you want to get the regular heating service in the fall before going into the winter. I sure wouldn’t want to be dealing with a heating breakdown when it’s in the single digits outside. We’re lucky because all of us have a backup wood stove all of us can use in an emergency. But our primary heating source is the gas oil furnace and I make sure it’s nice and tuned up prior to the beginning of the long freezing winter. However, that’s all I’d been doing for all these years when it came to prepping the home for winter. I was just too lazy laying in my recliner on my days off to get off my butt and deal with it. But the continuing rise of Heating plus Air Conditioning heating costs got to the point where I could no longer ignore Winter prep. I went to the website of our Heating plus Air Conditioning supplier where I found a detailed strategy for sealing up the home slim in order maximize Heating plus Air Conditioning efficiency. Taking it step by step, I just followed along the checklist over the course of a couple of weekends. Really, it wasn’t that difficult and I ended up saving nearly 25 percent on heating costs. Plus, the home was cozier than it had ever been before!
