Greetings all! As the title states, I just moved into my first house over the weekend. I've browsed r/frugal as well as looked up other resources online, and just want some help to make sure I haven't missed anything. Below is a list of all the things I have done so far, or intend to do in the next few weeks.
- Turned down the hot water heater temperature setting.
- Set up a schedule on my thermostat to automatically adjust temperatures up when nobody is home.
- Replaced all the bulbs with LED bulbs
- Have gotten thick curtains to hang up this weekend over the windows.
- Purchased silicone to seal the windows and door frames.
- Replaced the Air filter on our return vent. (intend to do this monthly)
- Am going to clean out all of our air ducts soon. *Inspected water pipes for leaks and repaired a small one.
What am I missing? Aside from replacing all the older appliances with energy star ones, which I intend to do in time, where can I improve?
Thanks in advance!
