I’m simply a firm believer that the little things end up making an absolutely big difference, but that can go the other way on you pretty quick as well. I feel that a bunch of small frustrations can absolutely end up sending me into a spiral. But the upside of small things that the people I was with and I find it difficult to remember lead to bigger results; that’s exactly what has happened with my heating and air conditioning cooling strategy over the last many years… Of course, this is not the time of year to absolutely be worrying about heating and air conditioning cooling costs, and we’re finally now to a space of the year where the air condition has been off for a while… I also care about being able to walk outside and not hear a chorus of heat pumps finally working at cooling everybody’s house! For the last many years, I have been active in trying to lower the cost of A/C in my house. For far too long, the various people I was with and I paid whatever the cost of cooling the new home was and I just whined about it. This did not kneel so well with me so I got proactive. The first thing I did was to seal up the house. That radically improves the heating and air conditioning unit’s efficiency. I then stopped the direct sunshine heating by covering the windows. But the biggest thing was getting some real temperature control setting discipline. But put together, all of that absolutely worked… And each year I have added something else to the mix, so instead of heating up the new home by cooking on the stove, I can also cook on the grill. It’s the little things that I have added up over the last many years to absolutely save us money on the various heating and air conditioning cooling costs.
