It\u2019s tough to save energy amidst all the busyness in life. As a modern American, you have more on your plate to remember and manage than any other human in history.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a reason why, even though our country offers one of the best standards of living in history, you\u2019re still highly stressed and not as happy as people in less affluent countries.<\/p>\n
Never fear! Here\u2019s a concise list of the top energy savings mistakes to avoid so you don\u2019t have to harry around, trying to figure out what to do:<\/p>\n
1. Forgetting to Use Window Film <\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s still too hot to use window film. But towards the end of fall and near the beginning of winter, consider installing it on your windows.<\/p>\n It\u2019s basically plastic wrap that goes on your windows. It helps insulate your home and keep the hot air in.<\/p>\n Your other options are to install completely new windows that insulate your home better, or to use honeycomb shades or thermal lined drapes.<\/p>\n Drapes and shades can easily cost you several hundred dollars. And in the case of new windows, you\u2019re looking at thousands.<\/p>\n Window film is cheap, and you can easily get it online or at your nearest hardware store.<\/p>\n 2. Not Insulating Your Attic Door<\/strong><\/p>\n Failing to insulate your attic door can actually cost you a lot of money the entire year.<\/p>\n What happens is that, because of temperature and moisture differences between the inside and outside, air naturally wants to escape.<\/p>\n It\u2019ll find any way out it can. This is called \u201cstack effect.\u201d<\/p>\n It happens any time of year, and particularly so when you heat the air in your home.<\/p>\n
