We are officially in the dog days of summer. It is time to start preparing your house for cold weather.
Yes, there is a lot of work to be done during the hottest part of summer, but if you’ve got the budget for it, there are plenty of DIY projects to do to keep your house warmer. You can do your hot laundry in the garage, keep your air conditioner running in the house, and make your water heater run on a timer. These are all great ways to keep your home warm during the hot months.
And of course all this work will put a strain on any budget. Our good friend Steve has some great tips for homeowners on how to save money on heating costs. First and foremost is to go for efficient central air conditioning and heat pumps. Many people don’t realize just how much money it costs to heat up an entire house, and so many of us don’t think about it. And that’s just as important.
So take Steve’s advice. You don’t have to purchase a central air conditioner or heat pump for your new or existing home. A heat pump is often the cheapest way to keep it warm in the winter months. You can also just install an efficient central air conditioner.
Of course, central air conditioning and heat pumps are incredibly expensive. So, as a rule, you should only use them in your new home if you’re not a huge fan of the idea of having to replace the entire house to keep it warm. Of course, if you have a second home, you’re probably going to want to change your furnace as well.
If you have a second home, you can swap out your home heating system with a central air conditioning and heat pump. They make a lot of sense for a second home. They both have the same problem, they are both more expensive than your current system, and because they have to run 24/7 you can expect them to run about $100/month more. But they take up very little space and take up very little room.

If you have a second home (or a second car) you can get a central air conditioning/heat pump to replace the central air conditioning and heat pump that you currently have. Or, if you have a second car you can get a central air conditioning/heat pump that replaces the central air conditioning and heat pump that you currently have. They are both more expensive than your current system, which is a good thing. They both take up very little space and take up very little room.
While the heat pump is probably more expensive than you’re currently using, it’s worth it. It’s one of the most energy efficient systems I’ve ever used. The heat pump alone can get you about half the electricity you have to use.
You might not think of it this way, but there are a lot of things that we do every single day that are considered “free”. In fact, many of them are often free. For example, there are many things that cost nothing but are essential to our lives, like a warm, dry place to sleep. The problem is, we think its free. But its not. It takes up a lot of space, but most of the time it costs you nothing.
