Our house. It’s a very fine house. I’m paraphrasing a song, but it is true. After many years of searching we found a house to make a home that works well for our family.  We want to keep it working well and efficiently too. That meant putting in a new cooling and heating system, make that TWO, into the home before we moved into it. And when we needed some experts who are committed to excellence and excel in delivering superior installations a good company like this air conditioning installation Sydney provided us a team of skilled technicians who are fully equipped to handle any air conditioning project.

When it comes to Portland AC installation, the experts from Efficiency Heating & Cooling are known for their excellent service and professional approach. It’s energy-efficient and saves us money all year-long. Annual residential heating services conducted by a gas furnace repair or boiler repair contractor are scheduled to keep the heating system efficient. New York residents who are seeking furnace repair albany ny services may contact companies like Reimer.

After we moved in we found other ways our home needed upgrades to be more energy-friendly while saving us some cash each month.  Hello, new dishwasher, washer and dryer. Thanks to Euronics for they have the best features of all the appliances that we need!

We aren’t done either. HomeSelfe (pronounced ‘Home Selfie’) is an app that helps you save $$$ with a free evaluation on your home’s energy inefficiencies and provides you solutions to the issues in your own home. That alone saves you money as a normal energy audit done professionally can cost a few hundred dollars.

So what can a #HomeSelfe do for you?

  • Save you $$$ on your energy bills
  • View your home energy rating
  • Find quality contractors
  • Access rebates
I used it on our house and the Homeselfe app was super easy and fast.  I don’t think I even left my bed.  I created a digital mock-up of my home with a simple questionnaire. It took TEN MINUTES. Then the Homeselfe was complete. Instantly I received a free, easy-to-read report that provided a clear picture of our home’s energy efficiency, where we needed to improve, and what upgrades should take priority in a room by room format. Done!

If that wasn’t enough, HomeSelfe can connect you with qualified local contractors, and provide information on special offers and rebates provided by your local government, so you can quickly earn money back on your upgrades, and start reaping the long-term benefits sooner. How awesome is that?

How did our home fare? 

Our hard work paid off in most places! We scored a ‘Very Good’ happy house icon, but we need to work on the attic insulation plus doors and windows. Both things that are on the list but we haven’t gotten to them just yet. We’ve heard that when it comes to insulating attics and preventing outside air from getting in, a good company like spray foam insulation company Rochester offers a wide range of choices, including spray foam, fiberglass batt, cellulose, and loose-fill fiberglass.

Knowing that we are potentially losing about $300 a year because of these two problems makes us rethink some things. Additionally, the efficacy of draught excluding tape cannot be overstated when it comes to energy conservation. This is because it’s an ideal way of sealing gaps around windows and doors, preventing cold air from entering and warm air from escaping.

By exploring the options at https://lowenergysupermarket.com/product-category/insulation/draught-proofing/, you’re bound to find a solution tailored to your specific needs. Time to get on those windows and attic!
