Yazi ukuthi yini ongayilindela ngaphambi kokuba ibhilidi lakho lokuqala lifike
Njengoba izinga lokushisa elibusika labancane, iMinnesota iyaziwa ngesimo sezulu esinzima ngesikhathi sasebusika. Uma uhambela eMinneapolis-St. UPawulu uvela esimweni sezulu esishisayo, ungase uzibuze ukuthi ufuna ukukhishwa kwesilinganiso sokushisa kuyoba phakathi nenkathi ebandayo. Uma usuvele uhlala endaweni kodwa usuka endaweni ekhokhela ukushisa kwakho ekhaya lapho uzothola khona izindleko, kufanele ubeke isabelomali izindleko zokushisa kangakanani?
Umthethosivivinywa Wokushisa Ophakathi eMinneapolis-St. UPawulu
E-Minnesota, isikhathi sokushisa sisuka kuNovemba kuya ku-March. Ezimweni ezinkulu, izindlu ezingabodwa, izikweletu zingaba ngaphezu kuka-$ 500 ngenyanga uma kubanda kakhulu kepha zilinganiselwa ngaphezulu kwezingu-$ 400 ngesikhathi sishisa. Imindeni ephakathi, efuthe ngokulinganisela, ingafudumala cishe ngama-dollar 200 ngenyanga. Izindawo zokuhlala ezincane zingashiswa ngo- $ 50 ngenyanga.
Izingosi Eziqeda Imithetho Yomlilo
Izindleko zangempela zokushisa zixhomeke ezintweni eziningi, ikakhulukazi ubukhulu bendlu noma indlu. Esinye isici esikhulu uhlobo lwamandla asetshenziselwa ukunikeza ukushisa. E-Minneapolis-St. UPaul, cishe amaphesenti angu-80 emakhaya atshiswa ngegesi yemvelo kanti amaphesenti angu-17 ashiswa ngogesi. Ezinye izici ezenza izindleko zokushisa zifakwe kahle ekhaya, ukufudumele kangakanani ukuligcina nokuthi uhlale ushisa kangakanani.
Yenza Ucwaningo Lwakho
Uma ubheka izindlu noma izindlu, cela umninikhaya noma umnikazi wangaphambili ngenani lemali yokushisa yonyaka odlule.
Abaningi abaqashile noma abathengi bafuna ukwazi lokhu, ngakho-ke abanikazi bezindlu nabadayisi kufanele babe nolwazi. Uma bengakwazi ukuhlinzeka ngezindleko zangaphambilini, thintana nezinkampani zamandla zendawo. I-Xcel Energy inikeza igesi yemvelo negesi, ne-CentrePoint Energy inikeza igesi yemvelo.
Amathiphu okunciphisa izindleko zokushisa
Ukushisa amanani eMinneapolis-St.
Indawo kaPaul ingase ibonakale iphezulu uma usuka endaweni efudumayo yezwe, kodwa kunezindlela zokunciphisa ukushaqeka kwesitika uma kufika umthethosivivinywa. Ngaphandle kokufaka isithando somlilo esiphelele, esingasasebenzi, kuningi okumele kuthathwe kuzo izindlu namafulethi ukuze kunciphise izindleko zokushisa.
Indlela ephumelela kakhulu yokusindisa amandla ukugcina i-thermostat ngama-68 degrees ngenkathi esekhaya bese uyibuyisela phansi kuma-degree angu-60 ngenkathi esebenza noma ulele. Kungcono nakakhulu, uthenge i-thermostat ehleliwe elungisa izilungiselelo zokushisa ngawe ngokuzenzakalelayo. Ungakhohlwa ukuthi unakekele isithando somlilo ngokuwuthola ngokucophelela ukulungiswa njalo futhi uthathe indawo yokuhlunga isithando somlilo ezinyangeni ezimbalwa.
Ezinye izindleko zokufaka izindleko zifaka iminyango ye-caulking ne-weatherstripping namafasitela, enezela ifilimu yokugxilisa amafasitela phezu kwamafasitela kanye neminyango ye-patio bese ivala ukukhanya komshayeli womlilo. Ukubeka amanzi okushisa angama-degrees angu-120 futhi ukufaka amakhanda okugeza nezimpukane ezinamanzi aphansi okugeleza kuzosiza ukugcina izindleko hhayi nje ebusika kodwa unyaka wonke.
