Ever since my baby sister moved out on her own, I have been trying to help her out.
- I got her a window AC unit a little while back so she wouldn’t have to suffer from the crazy heat in the summer.
At first she said she wouldn’t need it because they had central AC at the house she was staying at, but they had so many issues with the cooling system breaking down. Apparently, it was because nobody was bothering to change the air filters which resulted in expensive repair calls. They ended up not using the central air conditioning and she had to rely on the window AC unit. I was proud of her when she finally bought her own house and moved in with her husband. I kept telling her though she had to focus on different energy saving tips. She thought none of it was a big deal at first, but she missed out on one of the most important energy saving tips during her first winter. She didn’t put plastic on the windows and didn’t seal up the doorways. She was very cold and the energy costs were overwhelming. I was shocked and wondered if she had an issue with her insulation. I ended up helping her to get brand new insulation, I helped her put plastic on the windows and seal up the doorways. Her energy bills were less than half the following month, and she finally agreed to listen to the energy saving tips I was talking about. With all the energy saving tips she has learned from me, she’s actually doing very well now with her husband.
