Following the devastating effects of Superstorm Sandy, New York City and ridged New Yorkers are beginning to recover. Many have gone without power for extended periods of time and have learned the lessons of being well prepared.
But as New York City utilities come back on line so does their monthly cost to homeowners and residence of the Big Apple. New York City utilities can cost a family or individual hundreds of dollars a year and many people are now looking for ways to save on their monthly utility bills.
The storm scared residents so much that it forced coastal nursing homes to evacuate to better areas. Their facilities would not be able to protect their residents sufficiently enough for the weather. Nor'easter brought inches of rain and snow to the area. The expectations forced electric companies to hide because of the further damage they expected to see.
Trees were expected to fall, obstructing roadways and damaging more power lines. Consequently, the area stands eleven days apart from the hurricane and has yet to see power return to normal. In recent communications from the LIPA (the local power company) had only one thing to say, and that's that they were working hard to get things fixed. 14,000 + employees were working on the problem.
The helping hospital was not expecting the influx and needed to return them to their proper care center as soon as possible. Power companies would have needed to focus on places like this first as proper care needed to be returned to critical level patients.
One initially expensive way to help handle the flow of energy and subsequent dollars from the homes heater or air conditioner is to install a programmable thermostat in the home. Programmable thermostats will help to regulate the temperature in the home and keep it at cost efficient levels as well as adjust the temperature for the times, like mid-day, when persons are away from the home or during the night when temperatures do not need to be so high.
Additional money saving home installations include weather stripping doors and windows and insulating the garage door if you have one. Providing weather stripping material to seal leaks from doors and windows will keep the bought air in the home and the unregulated outdoor temperatures out.
Insulating the garage door, again if you have one, will cause the same effect as weather stripping the doors and window. Massive amounts of cold winter air enter a residence through the garage door as this is typically the one area of the home that is not insulated against weather.
Those that do not comply to this requirement will have their meter taken from their home until they get one. As you can imagine, tempers are high and demands are being made on both ends. Eleven days after the hurricane, residents are still suffering from its effects. They are seeking help in their fight to return power to their home.
