Energy efficiency is seriously pressing to myself and others now that inflation levels have increased the costs of all our necessary goods as well as services.
- Going grocery shopping is a painful experience nowadays, although I do our best to utilize coupons as well as sales to our fullest advantage.
I hope that inflation levels out at some point in the near future, as I’m continually struggling to make ends meet anymore. No matter how rigorous I get with our budgeting, the cost of something inevitably increases again as well as then I’m left wondering if I’ll ever cut even. With that in mind, I’m always looking for ways to save on energy costs because the value of that has increased as well. My parents were seriously strict about opening exterior doors during the daytime hours, as well as now I understand why. In the summer, the temperatures outside get so overheated that opening the front or back door will let out a lot of cold, conditioned air. They would complain if a neighbor showed up to play as well as I stood in the open doorway talking to them for longer than a few hours. But these mornings I struggle even more to heat the inside of our beach house than I do on cooling costs in the summer. For a long time I was spending so much on indoor heating simply because I have an seriously inefficient heating idea installed inside. It’s a fan-forced electric furnace as well as it’s not even as powerful or efficient as our modern radiant space heaters. And since the space gas furnaces can be moved from room to room, there’s no reason to keep the seasoned fan forced furnace any longer.
