Melnyk had a contractor install additional insulation in the home’s attic to keep the home at a more even temperature. And to prevent drafts and heat loss through cracks and gaps in the home’s walls and around windows and doors, she did simple air sealing measures, like installing foam gaskets in electrical outlets and replacing the weatherstripping around doors.
The results, Melnyk says, are remarkable. “There’s a great difference in my heating bills. I’ve kept my thermostat at the same setting but I’ve seen a reduction in my heating bills. I was working last year and am retired now, but I can’t believe that my heating bill is actually lower than when I was working and away from home.”

In addition to saving money as she heads into retirement, she’s happy to know she’s doing her part for the environment. Canadians should do energy renovations “to save our planet. People should try to do everything they can to reduce their carbon footprint. Even if it is something small.”
