Tocqueville's impression of American attitudes toward the relation of government and religion was formed on his tour of the United States in the early 1830s during the high tide of evangelicalism:
There are a few things you can do about it in a relatively short time. 1  An awning or outdoor window shade will stop most of the sun's heat before it comes to your window. 2  Install shades or shutters on the offending windows for more comfort when needed.
In addition to saving money and gas, you also remove a heat source when you would rather keep your home cool. While a pilot light doesnât put out a great deal of heat, it can be enough to keep the fireplace glass warm The good news is that turning off your fireplaceâs pilot light wonât hurt anything.
