Time to prepare the igloo and dogsled for winter.
Having been here for a few winters now we know where the problems are and what we need to do to cut down on our energy losses over those cold cold months.
This week we will be focusing on winterizing our home. We plan to do the following:
- plastic over the windows in the nursery, master bedroom, office, family room, dining room, kitchen
- new filter for our furnace
- new weather stripping for the front door and the garage door
- curtains with a lining for the living room and dining room (these are the biggest rooms and windows in our home. They cost us the most to heat.)
- re-caulking windows where required
We can compare the results to how much natural gas we used last year to heat our home. I will just have to normalize the numbers based on the outdoor temperature.
