Since getting the new place I've done little things to try and be efficient I our energy use. From swapping all bulbs to CFLs..and even now considering LEDs. To newer more efficient water heater. To little stuff like weather strip around a door.
This weekend (today) ill be under the house installing insulation. R13 that's wrapped in a vapor barrier.
There is zero under there now. I also inspected more in depth our insulation in our attic crawl space.
Only one major place the kitchen has zero. This has made our hvac run and work poorly. Enough that my bill is twice what its ever been before moving.
We don't have heat due to a flood (minor part...but we decided not worth it) ...and this should help then as well.
Its been near /over 100f here and if we can keep the house at 82 we are lucky. LOL. But that's put a hurt on the wallet.
Did find some issues electrical while I the attic I had to fix and a 2 ft by 5+ ft water tank???
so now the ideas are flowing.
