Maintaining your home can make your home more energy efficient.
Replacing old appliances, light bulbs and filters on your heating and cooling
system can help your energy cost.
We all want to do whatever we can to lower
our energy cost each month. There are many options you have around your home to
make your home more energy efficient. Your windows can get air leaks around
them. If they are old windows you may want to consider replacing your windows
with new energy efficient windows for your home. This will save you a lot of
money during the year and will improve the looks of your windows.
Ceiling fans can help to circulate the heat through out your home.
They can also help in cooling your home during the summer months. Circulating
hot and cold air around your home with ceiling fans can make your home more
comfortable and make your home more energy efficient. If you have a fireplace
and are not using it you should seal it off to keep the air from getting into
your home.
A fireplace can let cold air into your home and make your home
drafty. Sealing your fireplace off when you are not using it could save on your
energy bill and keep your home more comfortable. Install exhaust fans in your
kitchen and bathroom space to pull up the humidity and heat from these areas.
You can take showers instead of baths because showers will use
less hot water then baths. You can find shower heads that are more energy
efficient and will use less water in your home. You can conserve on your
electricity by turning off lights and other electrical items when you are not
using them.
Use appliances one at a time and in the morning or the evening to
save on your energy bill. If it is nice outside consider hanging your clothes
out to dry instead of using your dryer. Keep the thermostats in your home set
at an energy temperature setting. These are just a few of the different options
that you have to make your home more energy efficient.
