I just got back from picking out my new windows at the Colorado window company showroom. You can look at every style they offer and then there is a computer program that allows you to see that style of window in your home. It was a lot of fun, until I had to pay, but every cent will be worth it this winter. I have always had to put plastic on my windows and use space heaters because we had such old windows. This year will be different when the Colorado window company gets all my new windows in.

I had a roofing company put a new roof on about six months ago and I think that it is also going to help out with my heating and cooling bills. I have always heard that heat rises, and if it was going right out the roof then I was just throwing away money every time I turned on the furnace.

All in all, my house will be more energy efficient than it has ever been in the past. I am looking for a thirty to forty percent savings over last year’s winter heating bills and that will make a big difference in my pocketbook.
