The largest energy demands in a home or office are for heating and cooling, water heating, and lighting. These three areas account for more than 50% of a household’s annual energy consumption in this article we will discuss energy hogs and how to tame them.
There are a number of things you can do to increase savings and save money on your bills. Here are a few tips:
- Install energy-efficient appliances and equipment. When choosing new appliances and equipment, look for the Energy Star label. This label indicates that the product meets certain energy efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
- Seal up air leaks. Air leaks around windows and doors can let in hot or cold air, making your HVAC system work harder and driving up your energy bills. Seal up any air leaks with caulk or weatherstripping.
- Insulate your home or office. Proper insulation can help keep your home or office cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which will reduce your energy use.
- Upgrade your lighting. LED light bulbs use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. Making the switch to LED bulbs is a quick and easy way to save money on your energy bills.
- Schedule regular maintenance. Your HVAC system and other major appliances need regular maintenance to keep them running efficiently. Schedule regular check-ups with a qualified technician to make sure your systems are in good working order.
By following these tips, you can help your customers reduce their energy use and save money on their bills.
