90% efficient powervent furnace installed = $2000
I put a Chimney Balloon in my fireplace flue = $50
I calked my old style single pane windows = $5
I blew in another 12" of celulose attic insulation = $250
I foamed around my door jams with Great stuff. = $10
The time and money I sent on this stuff is minimal compared to a 20%
savings. I am thrilled!
Excellent choices.
Two other steps I might suggest;
1. A programmable thermostat ( about $30 )
I have ours set to drop temp to 62 from 10 pm to 6am.
2. Inexpensive shrink-wrap kits for some of your windows.
The DO work.
