Well the last few mornings have been bitterly cold and with the forecast for more cold days and nights, now is the time to consider your heating and heating needs.
Heating and cooling your home or business can be very expensive. But have you considered how well your home or business is insulated?
Insulating your house or business will save you a lot of money on heating and cooling bills. And you will also help reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. For those people that rent you are entitled to have your home insulated, which you can ask to be done at the expense of your landlord or you can suggest splitting the costs.
For some the initial expense of insulation may be too high, but there are other ways you can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and your heating bills. For example you can purchase door snakes (or rolled up towel) which blocks the gap between the bottom of your door and the door jam. These very low cost items (you buy these at any discount store) stop cold air entering and warm leaving your house under door jams.
If you close your blinds or curtains at night time you can prevent a lot of heat being lost through your windows. Glass windows are another way heat is lost as glass is a poor insulator and transfers heat and cold.
Here are some other ways you can reduce your heating bills:
- Insulate your home and business with properly labeled insulation bats.
- Find warmer clothing before heading to the heater.
- Make sure all windows and doors are closed when you have the heater on (this also applies to certain types of air conditioners).
- Close blinds/curtains at night time.
- Make sure gaps under doorways are plugged.
These are just a few ways of keeping your heating bills down, staying warm and reducing your greenhouse gas emissions.

If you need best Insulation Protection Suggestion…Affordable Too…But for 80% Energy Savings
The only Radiant Barrier Foil that I found to drastically work so much better than any other insulation product not just the normal 5-star R-15 radiant barrier foils said to work better than R-30 Fiber Glass, is Energy Conservation Specialists =R-53 Radiant Barrier Foils, 97% Reflective. I mocked the one layer around the whole house exterior walls that through Construction Work building an Insulation Model Home hasn’t lost a single yearly Energy Efficiency Contest for best Energy Savings for close to a decade. This is with all the other quality insulation manufacturers having to take their models apart and rebuild them yearly after attempting needed improvement processes.
All I did was place a single =R-53 Radiant Barrier Foil on every exterior wall behind either Wood Panel, Plywood, or an extra thin layer of Drywall and got my whole house to be on its way for having about 80% Energy Efficiency with 80% Energy Savings. The manufacturer also has R-100 Ceramic Insulating Paints, but both are actually designed to help any building last considerably much longer. (I’ve been studying ever insulation products for almost a decade now.)
The trick not to over look is you need two layers of =R-53 RB Foils at a minimum of ¾” air space gaps to get the =R-53 protection. This works great if you’re insulating only a single wall, but if doing the whole house, one =R-53 RB Foil per exterior wall is actually the needed two layers. They are designed for this, and it was found to work.
Best part, the Energy Conservation Specialist Manufacturer has lowered his prices by 3-4 times ever since the Energy Bills have been soaring about a decade ago. =R-53 RB Foils are now found at the lowest Insulation costs on the Internet, but for the Highest R-values. BEST ENERGY STAR PROTECTION. $0.10 Sq. Ft. or $100 per 100 Sq Ft. (R-30 High Density Fiber Glass used on exterior walls easily costs about $225 for 50 Sq. Ft., R-15 RB at $0.25 Sq. Ft.)
Have fun competing with energy bills.
