It is a really good idea to block air flow through your chimney when it isn’t in use. I had no idea that doing that could help save you a lot of money. However, this does seem like a great way to help save ene3rgy. Something like this could also help save you a lot of money in the long run.

Getting an programmable thermostat is a great way to help save money. Especially during the winter. I’m a polar bear and could sleep in a freezer. Having the house cooler while people are sleeping is a great way to save money. You can also do some home improvement projects like making sure that your attic has enough insulation to keep warm/cool air in your home.

I think i might opt for a programmable thermostat. It sometimes gets too cold for the house and I am freezing. I think that programmable thermostat would be great. It would save me money and also keep temperature at the right value.

That’s a good question Bryan that I will have to research further. We have a couple cracks in our slab foundation that I am concerned about.

I am trying to figure out how to fix the crack in my garage foundation. I’m just glad that the crack isn’t in a portion of the house my family lives in. What are the best ways to detect the severity of foundation damage?

I like how your last two tips were to tune-up and maintain the HVAC system. It can definitely be annoying to do work on something that is running well, but I don’t think that people realize how much it can help them. If you do periodic maintenance and make small repairs, you can extend the life of the unit quite a bit, and keep big repairs farther apart. Hopefully everything works out well. to ensure that people get all the help they need with things like this.

With the cold coming in a few month I seriously thought that I was going to need to get a guy in here to check my house for the air leakage. I think I might just need to check my windows and doors. If I am on a budget at the time I could just tape the door gaps.

As the summary mentioned, the less airflow you have in and out of the house while the heater is running, the more energy efficient your home will be. Cracks under the outside doors is just one way that heat and energy can escape from your house. Replacing doors and windows with more energy efficient, sealed ones can help solve that problem. I appreciate you sharing these tips on how to make your heater more efficient and cost-effective.

Ah, good, a video for lazy people like me! Seriously though, I didn’t know that doors where the second most common cause of energy loss. I guess I should get my doors looked at.
