Figuring out how to spend less on winter heat

I was surprised to find so many small leaks

I’ve never been a fan of winter; and then I’m not even entirely from around here! Where I grew up, there was some winter weather, however it was nothing like what I experience these days, and my parents had a good home that I was lucky enough to grow up in. Our heating method was a wood stove primarily, then however, that’s because our dad preferred it and my associate and I lived on a lot of acreage with plenty of available firewood; however, my associate and I also had a heat pump that gave heating on the days that weren’t all that cold. And our neighbors all had heat pumps as well, then it could get chilly however nothing love what I’m dealing with now; but yet this year, my associate and I are doing so much better thanks to myself and others finally tracking down a heating thief, then since we’ve been up here and in this house… I’ve not been completely committed to winter prep on the house. Of course, each fall I call the heating plus A/C supplier to set the appointment for the heating service, but that’s something that I’ve typically done as it just makes good sense. But as far as the home was nervous, I was sort of hit and miss. But this year, I entirely took winter preparation at home a lot more seriously. I even went so far as to get a thermal gun in order to find the source of a big heating leak in our home. This instant study temperature gun allowed myself and others to see just where the heat was pouring out of the house. I was surprised to find so many small leaks. But I finally found an entirely big single and was able to seal that up for good. Having a tighter home has made the winter in our house so much more comfortable.

Helping my mom with some residential HVAC

I have a mom who has been as independent as they come. She always told us that’s why our father left. Mom said that she was just too tough for him. And honestly, I could believe that. My mom raised us on a small plot of land with a small, three bedroom house. That place had no central air conditioning but it was home. Mom worked a tough job at a nearby plant to provide for us. With the hours that she put in, us kids were left to do a lot of the chores around the house. But we all turned out better for the experience. My mom is now retired but getting her off that land just isn’t happening. She’ll die there I’m totally sure. However, she did recently agree to taking some help from her children. The days of loading firewood into the wood stove are over for my mother. It was time that she actually had some decent residential HVAC inside her home. The summers can get plenty hot in her place so having some air conditioning was something else that we really wanted her to consider. It was a tough fight because she really didn’t want to accept any help from anybody. But we finally talked some sense into her and she let us bring over an HVAC contractor. This HVAC professional was just awesome. He helped us figure out what was best when it came to the heating and cooling comfort we wanted for our mom. We ended up with a multi split ductless heat pump that provides incredible quality heating and air inside my mom’s house. And that’s one less thing that we have to worry about.

Finding the sources for winter energy waste

I’ve never been a fan of winter! And I’m not even all that genuinely from around here; and where I grew up, there was some winter weather however it was nothing like what I eventually experience these days… And my parents had a great house that I was lucky enough to grow up in! Our central heating system was a wood stove primarily; however, that’s because our dad liked it plus my buddy and I lived on a lot of acreage with plenty of available firewood… But my buddy and I also had a heat pump that provided heating on the days that weren’t all that particularly cold.

And our neighbors all had heat pumps as well; however, it could get freezing, however nothing like what I’m dealing with now… And yet this year, my buddy and I are doing so much better thanks to myself and others finally tracking down a heating thief; but since we’ve been up here plus in this house, I’ve not been completely committed to winter prep on the old house.

Of course, each fall I call the HVAC business to set the appointment for the heating repair; then that’s something that I’ve always done as it just makes wonderful sense. But as far as the house was too anxious, I was sort of hit plus miss. But this year, I genuinely took winter preparation on the house a lot more seriously. I even went so far as to get a thermal gun in order to find the source of a big heating leak in our home. This instant read temperature gun allowed myself and others to see just where the heat was pouring out of the house. I was surprised to find so many small leaks as well. But I finally found the genuinely big one plus was able to seal that up for good. Having another tighter house has made the winter in our home so much more comfortable.

Finding the source for all the energy waste in the winter

I’ve never been a fan of winter! And I’m not even legitimately from around here, then where I grew up, there was some winter season weather however it was nothing akin to what I experience these days; my parents had a good beach house that I was lucky enough to grow up in, then our heating system was a wood stove primarily… Then however, that’s because our dad preferred it and we lived on a lot of acreage with plenty of available firewood.

Upgrading the space with an HVAC system

Then I got about sprucing the place up with fresh paint, current furnishings and comfortable beds

I try to get out of the central cooling system of our cabin and out to our spot in the woods at least a couple times a month. And since it’s also fairly close, I sometimes just go for afternoon trips; but if somebody will go with me, I am consistently up for making a weekend of it as well… That’s the rub though, getting our family out of the residential heating and air conditioning of the lake house is tough. They simply don’t appreciate the plan of roughing it one bit. And that goes double when there is no quality heating and air coming from some heating and air conditioning equipment; then over the last few years, I could count on one hand the times that any member of our family wanted to go up to the cottage as well… It’s hard for myself and others to understand given how charming it is there. In the summertime, there is a freshwater lake that is just absolutely charming. And all year long there are miles and miles of trails for hiking and taking in all that vast beauty, but still, I was the only one that was willing to leave the central cooling system of the cabin to love it. As the adolescents are getting older, I easily wanted to change how they perceived the cottage. So I had the heating and air conditioning supplier come out and install multiple ductless heat pumps to provide residential heating and air conditioning. Then I got about sprucing the place up with fresh paint, current furnishings and comfortable beds. I sort of had an unveiling this past fall and our family just was wild about the updates. I also enjoyed having ductless heat pumps for some heating before I got the stove lit when I first arrived at the cottage during the winter.
