Home with Solar

Homeowners and renters who want to improve the energy efficiency of their home should consider two important questions: which upgrades will save the most money on energy costs, and which will add the most value to my living situation? Starting with simple upgrades can be the best inital action, and could  result in significant heating and cooling cost savings. 

Consider making the following energy efficiency improvements.

  • Replace high-energy appliances with more energy efficient versions
  • Install programmable thermostats
  • Add extra layers of insulation in the attic, and around doors and windows
  • Enhance air conditioning with ceiling fans
  • Install low-flow plumbing fixtures - showerheads, faucets and toilets - and consider tankless water heaters
  • Switch to LED or CFL bulbs in lighting fixtures
