Many of us have to deal with our high heating bills. It is very depressing having to pay for something that we need and it having such a high cost associated with it. And when you live in a state were it is always snowing or constantly cold it just ads to your stress and financial burden. Many americans have resorted to using wood burning stoves and other alternatives to heat their homes but the cost still ads up.
I live in Colorado and it does get very cold here and my heating bill is usually 500.00 a month in the winter. I try and turn my heater down but I end up waking up in the middle of the night freezing and I end up turning it back up anyway. I attempted to use portable space heaters and even using our older wood burning stove but nothing seems to cut back the heating cost enough.
For our last years tax return we spent all of it to insulate our home and make sure we had no way of any heat leaking from any cracks but our bill only lowered slightly. I started to just forget about it and just face the fact that I always had to deal with high heating costs as long as we remained in Colorado.
I visited my friend that I have no seen in a few years and we talked about our high utility costs. He told me that he usually only pays 50.00 a month for heating and sometimes much less. His home is about the same size as mine and he did not insulate his like I did mine. He told me about how he invested in solar heating a few years back and that the initial cost was minimal and has always been dependable for him since he had it installed.
I looked into it and decided it was well worth the investment if we can eliminate hundreds off the heating bill. The next fall we prepared and had everything we needed and put in the effort to have it installed. Once the colder nights came around our home was warm and toasty and when we got our bill it was less than 100.00! I am very happy we can save our money and not have to sacrifice our comfort.
