Installing a storm door this past tax season has been our latest smartest move on cutting energy costs!It is unreal that a door can do that!
About our door and why this storm door is a savings on the electric/energy bill:
Around the front door was not very insulated and you could even feel wind when it was windy out. With the storm door...nothing..it's great. We can also keep our A/C temperature at 76 whereas before couldn't go lower than 78 or the bill was high. So now the bill is basically the same as it was But no worries about keeping cool and curious...will the A/C ever stop turning? This may not sound like savings but it is to be able to keep it cooler for the same amount and high temperatures lately.
Last month's bill was only $97.00 (with some hot days). This coming bill is only $157.00 and that is w/ some 100 degree weather days and many 90 degrees. This house (upstairs/downstairs) has been a battle to lower the bill but I am happy with what we have done thus far. The next energy saving effort won't be for a while, but will be insulating the garage to cool the hobby room above and I know it will work. So far our baby steps here and there to heat and cool this house are paying off with lower energy bills!

It's awesome to save $$!
Happy blogoversary :)
Thank you! I forgot! Thank you for reminding me!
Yes, it is awesome to save money! This allows us to spend in other areas we would rather spend, or simply to cut down debt!
