I enjoy residing in an part that provides four distinctive seasons.
I enjoy the gorgeous colors and delicious foods of Fall.
Nothing quite compares to fresh tomato, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, grapes and plums. The winter time snow is absolutely beautiful and it’s always fun to go snowmobiling and skiing. I always look forward to the robins and the first sign of the daffodils, tulips and hyacinths in the Spring. The summer time sunshine is always welcome, and the sizzling weather allows for swimming, barbecues, cycling and all sorts of activities. Because of temperatures that can fluctuate from the mid nineties down into the downside digits, my associate and I rely heavily on heating and cooling. The cost of temperature control accounts for approximately fifty percent of the apartment energy consumption. I continually look for new possibilities to trim costs. I hope to tighten up the household and prevent the heated and cooled air from leaking out. This reduces the workload of the furnace and a/c, lessens our carbon footprint and contributes to greater reliability, longevity and value from equipment. I have replaced all of the windows and exterior doors in our household with Energy Star rated products. Every fall, I check for any gaps and add necessary caulk and weatherstripping. I’ve installed ceiling fans to help create a cooling effect in summer time and better distribute heat in the winter. Attic insulation helps to keep a more comfortable household and lessen energy losses. I officially replace air filters and schedule professional tune ups for the a/c in the Spring and for the furnace in the fall, however just recently, I updated to a smart temperature control that automatically caters to my family’s schedule and helps to minimize energy use.
