With the cold season that we have here in Montreal, and the high cost of everything, we can't afford to waste our money on energy loss.
Our energy is supplied by a select few companies and they have a monopoly. Why thrown our money away to companies that already make billions of dollars, when you can take the necessary steps to keep most of that money to yourself. The one you work very hard for.
What is an Energy Efficient Home?
An Energy Efficient home is one that has very little loss of heat and very little air from the outside, circulating through, in the wrong places.
You should first start by passing your hand around all your doors, windows or any other wholes around the house. Do you feel any air? Do you feel any cold? If you so, that's a major energy loss.
Secondly, touch the walls that have nothing else behind them. The ones that only have the bricks behind. Are they of a normal temperature? Or are they cold? If they feel cold, you have an energy loss.
Lastly, what is your house heated with? If you are heating with oil, you are most definitely not saving money.
