I’ve constantly worked hard to save currency where I could! I don’t eat out unless it’s a social gathering, drive a gas efficient car, & make most of my purchases from thrift stores… These little things add up to a lot of extra savings over the year, & aren’t hard to manage in your day to day life.
- The one realm I had trouble finding ways to cut back on was my energy expenditure.
I finally figured out that it was my central heating that ate up the most electricity, after several unsuccessful months of trying to cut back on using lights & appliances. Since my Heating & Air Conditioning system was already at least a decade old, I contacted my heating & cooling supplier to inquire about other heating options. It turns out that I had a pretty inefficient boiler, & they often gained complaints about the costs associated with heating homes this way. They informed me of a technology I had never heard of before; a combination boiler. This component not only heats your house more efficiently, however also updates your water heater! I thought about all the ways this would help me save on electricity; taking showers, cleaning, & doing laundry could all be combined with the effort to heat my house. This would save me large buck over time, & without having to sacrifice my normal lifestyle. I wouldn’t have to feel guilty about keeping my dwelling comfortably heated anymore. I ended up purchasing the combination boiler component that very day, & my installation date can’t come fast enough!
