Just had a free energy inspection from our local electric company - it was great! I learned quite a few things that we can apply right away. One of the biggest was not understanding that we have a 2 stage heating system. We turn our heat down at night and back up in the morning. If the differential between the ambient temperature and the temp we set it at is > 2 degrees (i.e. it's actually 60 deg and we set it to 68 in the morning), our Stage 2 heat system kicks on...which costs up to 5x as much per hour to run. Who knew? Not us, apparently.
He pointed out several other insulation tips, etc.
Sharing this in case others might want to see if their local utility company offers a similar free service.
