The electric bill has that summertime glow to it once again.
That is the glow of my currency getting sucked from my purse.
There is just something about writing that utility check that breaks myself and others down. I remember my dad typically yelling at us to keep the door shut when the air conditioner was on. She would get livid when I left a door ajar while in the Summer months. She also gave myself and others the currency doesn’t grow on trees lecture. But that man would be spinning in her grave if she was witness to the amount I am paying to heat plus cool our home. It came to myself and others the other day that I could be doing way more to get the energy bill down. Our Heating plus A/C idea is fairly new so, I guess it has a undoubtedly high SEER number. So, heating plus cooling component efficiency in not at all the issue. Those living inside the apartment are the issue. That led us to making some real, tangible swings. Both of us installed a smart thermostat to better manage the Heating plus A/C use far more precisely. Both of us even bought some automatic blinds to sync with the new thermostat. It amazes myself and others that the new thermostat can detect boiling spots throughout the apartment plus then drop the shades on that area. Simply knocking out the direct sun heating made a tremendous difference in the amount of time the Heating plus A/C is toiling. I added another fantastic behavior by being particular that the air filter is changed every single month. Both of us also took a day plus sealed all the cracks plus gaps we could find on the exterior of our home. These minor swings will provide us at least a 15 percent savings on that monster of a utility bill.
