WHAT ABOUT MY HOME?
Saving money on utilities is not
achieved by firing one silver
bullet. That only worked for the Lone Ranger. Instead, it will be
the process of doing many things a little better. Some will have a
greater effect than others, but together they will enable you to
retain more of your hard-earned money. Some can be done for almost
no expense, others can involve a serious investment.
At the same time, responsible citizens
will want to "think green". Saving money on utilities can also have
the effect of being "green-friendly" to our earth. So, both the
individual focusing on savings, and the individual focusing on
saving the planet, can use the same tools.
We need to have a good look at the
whole house. Is our money flowing to the outside through poorly
constructed doors and windows? Is our insulation substandard? Is
that laughing sound in the basement our 60-year-old furnace? You
know, that one that takes up the space of a small car. Is our hot
water tank set for 150 degrees, when 120 is plenty. There is plenty
to look at.

left hand column of this page, and on the other main pages in our
site. Enjoy the adventure. |

their service. Contact us at:

within a month, but if you wait until that moment, space may
well be taken. This is the time to strike a deal for a
bargain ad. We have posted the site early for this purpose |
