ROBB'S CORNER

Hi friends,

Welcome to Metrospect Ltd. Inspection News. Today I am going to speak on getting your house ready for winter and some of the simple steps you can do to save money this Winter.

First, a good themostat is indispensable in controlling your heating (and air-conditioning) costs. A programmable thermostat whether analog or digital will help prevent energy waste. If you are single or a couple without children, setting your thermostat to heat you up in the morning and before returning from work or activitives will save you tons by using only the energy you need and during the rest of the day only maintaining a much lower temperature to keep your house comfortable and safe.

If you have children or work from home, you can either set the thermostat just slightly lower let's say 68 degrees or put on slippers and a light sweater thereby allowing you to use less energy. By the way did you know that Pediatricians suggest a house in Winter to be cooler as to not shock your children when you take them out on errands.

Although newer Energy Star Rated windows and appliances will save you money and increase the value of your home, you can adjust windows and doors to improve effiency and energy costs. Using window wrap, door snakes will help you control the flow of money seeping out your doors and windows.

If you have any questions on improving the energy effiency of your home or other issues, please contact me at: robbpacker360@aol.com or 847-808-8488
