After she installed insulation in her home’s walls and basement, her home immediately felt more comfortable. The benefit of a better-insulated home became even more clear when she received her next natural gas bill. Her winter natural gas bill was much lower than it’s ever been, she says, and she keeps wondering why the furnace isn’t coming on.

There’s nothing wrong with the furnace, though: with the new insulation, it’s just easier for the furnace to keep her home warm. Next time there’s a storm, Shaw knows she’ll be well prepared.
