Sell Your House Fast San Antonio – Priority: Energy Efficiency
Energy Saving Commandments to Sell Your House Fast San Antonio
– Winter Edition
In order to sell your house fast in San Antonio, you need to ensure that your home is the most energy efficient in the city! These are the laws you must abide by, unless you enjoy high energy bills and frost bite…
Thou Shalt Search Thy Home for Air Leaks…
Think window seals, door frames, chimney and/or fireplace gaps, lights in insulated ceilings, cabinets, cupboards, and closets. Furthermore, caulk and weatherstrip those air leaks. It takes one homeowner to notice air leaks and drafts, and it takes said homeowner to a whole new level when maintenance is completed.
Thou Shalt Adjust Thy Home Temperature Settings…
According to whether or not the homeowner is actually at home. The heater does not need to be on and waiting for you to come home like an obedient 1950s housewife. If you want your electricity bill to lower within the upcoming winter months, the best tip you can utilize is to not use your electricity. CPS Energy recommends your thermostat to be set at a comfortable 78 degrees when you are in the house. Many electricity companies now offer programmable control panels at no additional cost. These systems allow you to program your preferred temperature settings in alignment with your work and vacation schedules, as well as those days when you just want to lounge around your house. Most have a corresponding phone app which only increases the convenience factor while lowering the reasons not to have one installed. I personally keep my thermostat at a low of 69 degrees and a high of 79, so try and find what you are able to best tolerate. If you find you need more warmth, simply put on a sweater or the like. Sometimes the simplest of actions can lead to the most rewarding outcomes.
Thou Shalt Utilize Mother Nature…
When the sun is out, open your blinds. It may feel chilly outside, but while you are inside the sun’s natural rays will warm up any room it touches. That, combined with not having your ceiling fan on and staying within your new temperature settings will help to drastically stave off the cold winter months. Also, start singing “kumbaya” with how all these tips are helping the Earth and intertwining with one another beautifully… Or with how light your energy bill has become.
Thou Shalt Cook More Efficiently…
It is not necessary to use the stove for every meal. Start prepping meals in advance, and microwave portions as necessary. Microwaves use significantly less amount of electricity than stoves. Plus preparing meals in advance assists not only in lowering electricity bills, but also in lowering grocery bills.
Thou Shalt Adjust Thy Water Heater…
One common energy sucker that is often neglected and forgotten is water heating, which accounts for about a quarter of household energy costs. If you reprogram your water heater to its “warm” setting (about 120 degrees) this can significantly lower your energy bill, plus you will no longer be in danger of unknowingly drying out your skin due to those extra hot showers/baths. May thy Skin Gods and Goddesses bless your largest organ this season!
While many other tips exist in efforts to conserve energy, these are the most applicable to the winter months that I have personally tried to be true. Remember, lowering energy costs assists in saving money for desired upgrades and necessary repairs, which in turn assists you in enjoying your home more.
