How much did you research various things that usually "automatically" come with your house? I'm talking heating, hot water, windows, solar power, etc.? I want to make an informed decision and make sure that we choose the best option in terms of efficiency/price but it has been VERY difficult. Most of us, by the looks of things, are happy with what we're given by builders. Are we aware there are other choices that might be better, more efficient, cheaper?
Your thoughts?
