Nick-
Laura and I have installed additional insulation (albeit in the dead of
summer, so I almost died in the attic!), installed a
timer on our hot water circulator, reduced the average
temperature in the house during the winter months, and
lowered the temperature on our hot water heater.
Before this whole thing started we had changed out our
windows to help maintain the temperature in our house
and we have considered installing a radiant barrier in
the attic for further energy savings.
We'd be curious to learn if anyone else had
alternatives they have implemented that might be
applicable in our home.
Keep up the good work. Also, I am going to enlist my
classmates at school to participate in an all North
Texas version of the CO2 reduction intiative.
I'll be in touch to find out what I need to start it.
Talk to you later.
Joe & Laura & Hannah.
