How To Save Money On Electricity?
Get a Home Energy Audit
Most homeowners are unaware of where they are wasting energy around their home. Getting a professional energy audit allows them to better appreciate where money is literally leaking out of the walls and floors. The audit helps homeowners move towards making the house more energy efficient. Audits can save homeowners money by offering energy-conscious suggestions like: replacing old filament light bulbs with new fluorescent ones, finding and sealing leaks in the weather-stripping, unplugging electronics and appliances, managing the thermostat effectively and detecting leaks and filter problems within HVAC units. Repairing minor HVAC leaks and filter issues gives the units new life and enables them to function even more efficiently.
