Quick Tips...to Save You Money!
-
Make a quick trip to the hardware store or home improvement center for a hot water insulation kit to wrap your water heater and save on water heating costs.
- Ensure that your whole system (i.e., furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, and heating and cooling) is energy efficient. Leaky ducts can decrease the overall energy efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20%.
- Run your washer, dryer, and dishwasher only with a full load.
- Seal and insulate your home to improve comfort and reduce heating and cooling costs. EPA recommends Home sealing to improve your home's "envelope" or the outer walls, ceiling, windows and floors.

If these tips aren't enough...We can evaluate the performance of your home and generate a customized list of improvements.
- Improvements may include sealing air leaks, adding insulation (Home Sealing) or sealing Duct air leaks.
- It is common to trace high energy bills to an in-efficient component (windows, heating and cooling equipment, ducts insulation) of your home or a failure of one of these components to perform as intended. It is not always easy to pin-point the problem, but fixing it can make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable.
