Home Comfort Tactics Podcast


brought to you by Eric Gans
 

home comfort tips and tricks podcast
 

Welcome to Home Comfort Tactics. There is a massive void in how people think about improving their homes. This show will fill the hole. I have been all over Maryland, and nine of every ten houses are under-insulated. I hope the Inflation Reduction Act gains momentum and generates interest in home performance. We aim to help you understand what home performance is and why it makes so much sense! You will be able to do some of the things you learn on the show yourself, and others you might need a helping hand. The main thing is that knowledge will give you a sense of calm and put you in the driver's seat, moving towards success.

Listen to the intro to get a flavor for the show...
