Prices of everything are higher now than ever before. Even when you try to reduce expenditure, it’s still not easy to save money. Last winter, I had to deal with high heating costs in my home. Unfortunately, in this part of the world, you need a heating system to stay warm during winter. Otherwise, you might end up saying goodbye to the world after freezing to death. However, the price of energy has risen so much that I felt the pinch paying my heating bill. It’s always important to find ways to lower costs in your home. So, that’s my mission this year. I don’t want to have to pay even higher energy bills in my home during the coming winter. I have this old wood stove in my home that I’ve never used since I purchased the property. And there’s so much wood on my land that I can harvest and dry to use for winter. But I need to find out if the wood stove works or it needs a bit of repair. It took time to find an HVAC worker who can also work on wood stoves. Many were only familiar with modern heating systems. That was surprising considering that some homies still use wood stoves. The HVAC worker who arrived at my home is not only well versed with wood stoves, but he also uses one in his home. He says he does have a gas furnace to use when it’s extremely cold. Otherwise, he and his family are comfortable using the wood stove to heat their home during winter. Hearing that has reassured me that using a wood stove is one of the best ways to lower my energy bill this coming winter.
