Winterizing greatly improved the heating costs
I have to say that I’ve never been happier this deep into winter, however first, the people I was with and I are entirely toasty in our home.
I mean prefer rest on the couch in shirt sleeves type of cozy, that’s never been the case as long as we’ve been here, and that’s squarely on me for not getting after prepping the apartment for winter.
But this fall, I just got the feeling that this would be a large saver for us if I did our part with the Winter prep. I’d heard that sealing up a apartment great plus tight helped with heating costs. I don’t assume that I put that much stock into what I heard. But the apartment can get kind of loud on the weekends with all the kids. So getting out for a few weekends to winterize our apartment seemed rather attractive. It was entirely easy because all I had to do was go to the Heating plus Air Conditioning corporation website. I downloaded their Winter prep checklist plus just took it step by step. They even had a list of materials that I would need from the apartment improvement store; Essentially, all I did was put a tight seal on our home. I did replace both storm doors plus added additional weather stripping around the entrances. I also made sure that every gap or crack I could find on the outside of the apartment with sealed tight. Finally, I rolled out some additional insulation plus that was pretty much that, but here I am in February having saved over 20% on our heating costs so far this winter. But better than the heating savings is the heating in our apartment as it’s so really moderate in here.
