I have to say that I’m sort of strutting around a bit this winter. For a guy who is almost uniquely not good at home projects, I finally did something right. And all it took was turning to the HVAC professionals for some help. I didn’t even have to go to the HVAC company. I was able to find everything I needed online at the HVAC company’s website. After years of complaining and fretting over increasingly high heating bills, I finally decided to do something. I was so sure just how well it would work but all I had to lose was some effort and time. We’ve been living in this house now for six winters and I’ve never properly winterized the house. The only winter prep that I’ve ever done is to call and have the HVAC technician come out and do the heating maintenance. I’m really good about that because I believe in getting consistent, seasonal HVAC maintenance. It improves the efficiency of the HVAC equipment as well as improving longevity. But I really wanted to do something to lower the high cost of heating. I found everything I needed to know at the HVAC company website. I simply followed along as it was in a checklist form. I went step by step and sealed up our house really tight. The costs were low and it only took me two or three weekends of effort to do winter prep properly. I’m strutting around this February because we’ve never been more comfortable in our home and the heating costs have dropped significantly.
