While building we have been renting, and the place we were at before we just recently moved to be closer to the build, we rented privately. The owner was doing reno work the last couple of weeks we were there including getting new double glazed windows. I have to say when the boys finished putting the windows in, I felt a difference almost immediately. I went into the room that was normally really cold because it was facing south and it was constantly actually windy in that room (you could see the blinds normally move - like there was a ghost there) so we used it as a storage room for our packing boxes and it was so nice there, and the window seemed bigger but it was the same size. And in the living room that was boiling hot because the sun was on the windows all the time, and the windows were floor to ceiling, that room was really cool and pleasant now and you could actually look out of the windows without sunnies! In the past, when I haven't been comfortable I always tried to get out of the house and kept asking my husband to go out to dinner or go to see friends or go for a walk or go shopping, basically any excuse not to be at home. But when the home is comfortable, you want to spend time there and that in itself actually saves money. So make your home comfortable and you'll not want to leave.
