There are a lot of improvements that I would like to make to my new house.
There are several places that could use new paint, a few areas where I want to install shelves, some lights that need to be replaced or rewired, and flooring that could certainly be updated.
I know we will get around to these projects eventually, but I’m looking forward to completing one additional modification some time soon, so we can start to save money as soon as possible. I would love to install zone controlled heating in our place. I’ve heard about this new technology for a while now, but I’ve never considered how it could be useful for us until we got this big house. Now I understand how much money it costs to heat or cool an entire house and it seems like a big waste, especially when there’s only one or two people home at a time. It seems silly to be pumping air conditioning into the full volume of the house when we’re located in only one or two rooms. It would make a lot more sense to focus our HVAC usage to only the regions that are immediately being used, rather than trying to manage the temperature everywhere at once. I know that this would keep our most utilized living spaces more comfortable, since they would be closely monitored and maintained. It would also save us a ton of money in energy bills each month, since we wouldn’t be wasting so much power running the central heating and cooling units.
