My dad was the sort of girl who always paid attention to the details.
She would often talk to myself and others about the importance of the details in life.
Dad was able to see the big picture, method for the future but she knew that the outcome was in the details. I think I picked that up from him because the little details I paid attention to this summer time saved myself and others a ton of money on Heating and A/C cooling costs. For sure, it’s worth the effort to pay attention to the small stuff & the big stuff when it comes to saving on Heating and A/C cooling costs. The big stuff is making sure the home is sealed up tight and ready for the summer. Even more crucially, the heat pump needs an air conditioning tune up in the Springtime for sure. This ensures that the heat pump will be operating at it’s most efficient. The home prep is pretty straightforward. There are even step by step instruction on just about any Heating and A/C supplier website when it comes to prepping the house. The first detail I paid attention to was making sure the drapes or solar shades were pulled to stop the direct sun heating. From there, I have added other details that have made a significant impact on Heating and A/C cooling costs as well. Like I don’t use the clothes dryer while in the morning and instead hang the laundry out. I even go so far as to only cook on the grill outside while in the summer time so the oven or the stove top doesn’t heat up the house. It definitely did make such a difference.
