Last October, I got a promotion at our job that required myself and others to transfer to Buffalo NY; At first, I minute guessed moving to Buffalo because I care about living in NY City, however after careful consideration, I decided to take the leap, however before I moved, I did some research about Buffalo, as well as I was a bit worried about the weather because Buffalo NY is a lot colder than it is in the city, in fact, on average the temperature in Buffalo NY in the Winter is properly 10 to 15 degrees lower than the temperature in NYC, as well as they get several times the snow.
I do appreciate seeing the snow, as well as I welcome that, however I knew the cold rapidly increasing temperatures would be a challenge for me… Hence, the first thing that I did when I moved was to make sure that our Heating, Ventilation & A/C method was running efficiently, as well as it could handle those brutally cold Winter days.
I found a local Heating, Ventilation & A/C provider as well as had a worker inspect the unit. She gave some tips on how best to conserve energy, while remaining comfortable in our home, the worker recommended that I followed the directions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as set the thermostat to 74 degrees in the Winter. I thought that was a bit too cold, however I have been doing it, as well as the home is more comfortable than I thought it would be. She also recommended that I installed a programmable thermostat to conserve even more energy. I have not yet done so because I am doing the research on getting a zone Heating, Ventilation & A/C method installed. I guess that is something that will make sense since I method on staying in Buffalo NY for a while.
