It wasn’t until they doubled that I started checking my home for energy leaks. I purchased a inexpensive infrared thermometer and checking all my windows and doors. The house was bought brand new so I had no idea that all the windows needed to be recaulked. My AC unit was working overtime in order to keep the house cooled to the temperature I had it set to. Once I had it recaulked, my electric bills returned to normal. Getting a thermometer saved me hundreds, and it’s even helped me find uninsulated areas of the walls. I even have written many articles on the best versions of these tools. I hope more people realize how important it is to check their homes because I am sure I am not the only one that had this problem.
