Most people hope their homes are energy efficient. In fact we blow money through the utility room (heating & cooling), burn it in our lamps (lighting), and pour money down the drain (hot and cold water). 
The key to achieving energy savings is a whole-house energy efficiency plan. This ensures that the money you invest in energy efficiency is wisely spent. However, energy efficiency improvements are not just about saving money, they can also make your home more comfortable. In addition, your home will likely have a higher resale value.  The information provided here can help you reduce your energy bills. You can reduce your utility bills while maintaining or even improving your level of comfort.
 
Our strategy for an Energy Efficient Home focuses on the following areas:
Home Heating

A large portion of our energy bills are spent for heating our homes. Temperature control is very important for home comfort. You want to save energy and reduce your bill but want to be comfortable at the same time.

Water Use

Water is an item that sometimes we take for granted. However, considerable energy is used in heating water for domestic use. You can have clean, healthy water, reduce the use of cold as well as hot water, and save on your water and energy bills.

Humidity

Properly humidified air promotes your family’s health and your home’s sturdiness. It also saves money. In winter, humidified air feels warmer— allowing you to lower the thermostat, reducing your heating bill.  Humidity removed from the house can help you feel more comfortable and save on your air conditioning bills.

Air Conditioning

There is no need to be uncomfortable to save energy on air conditioning. New improved products can provide good temperature control with a reasonable level of energy savings.


Weatherization

Weatherizing your home is a cost-effective way to lower your home's heating and cooling bills and improve your comfort. Weatherize your Home with our tips, kits, products and save energy. Improve insulation, plug leaks & seal air ducts.


Home Ventilation

Improvements in Ventilation provide good opportunities for energy savings. In most homes, it's very hard to modify the air supply piping of central heating & cooling systems. But you can modify any room-by-room discomfort of a central system.


Lights


Our dependence on electric light has matured. We can now get just the right kind of lighting for any major task, but this doesn’t mean that we have to waste energy with our lighting needs.



Appliances


If you’re shopping for new appliances, there are many energy efficient alternatives. Look for Energy Star appliances. The appliances may cost more, but you will recover the added initial investment with your operating cost reductions. If you intend to keep your appliances, some simple control devices may help you save on energy costs.


Air Circulation

A few, easy to implement, measures can improve the circulation of heated or cooled air in your home, making you feel more comfortable and saving you on your energy bills.
