MAKE YOUR HOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT

August 10, 2023 by hls_admin

Make Your Home More Energy Efficient

Making your home more energy efficient involves a lot of different tasks. Definitely, some changes will have to be made in your home in order to make it more energy efficient. Some of the changes will be big while some of them will be small. There will be those that will require a one-time investment from you while others will have to be maintained on a regular basis.
Go through your house and get to know everything about it. After that, you can refer to the tips below to see how you can bring energy efficiency into your home.

Improve the insulation in your home. Aim for an effective insulation of your house. This keeps the heat from flowing in or out of your home. During the cold months, it will keep the warmth inside the house. When it is the warm season, it will keep the weather from making the inside of your house too hot. Concentrate on the attic, basement, ceilings and walls. This will keep your HVAC unit from working too hard.
Seal all openings. This mostly refers to all the doors and windows of your house. This will keep the heat from escaping or coming inside when it is too hot. If your windows are old, you may have to replace or give it an upgrade. Vinyl frames are actually better than aluminum. And make sure you use your blinds or curtains. You should also consider electric outlets because they can leak out the air too.
Choose an HVAC unit that is energy efficient. If you still have the old unit and it keeps on breaking down, it might be time to replace it with one that is energy efficient. After you have done that, make sure that you schedule a regular maintenance of the unit at least on a yearly basis.
Think about using ceiling fans. This is a great way to cool a room so your HVAC system will not work as hard as it has to. These fans also have a reverse switch that can force the hot air to go down from the ceiling – which is great during the cooler months.
Have a programmable thermostat installed. This will actually help you have a hundred dollars a year. You can turn the temperature down when nobody is home and then back up an hour or so before the first person gets through the door. That will help you save money and make your home more energy efficient.
Work on the shades around the house. If you have a garden, you can plant trees near the windows to keep the hot rays of the sun from making the house hot.
Use LEDs. This type of light fixture is more energy efficient than the incandescent light bulbs that were used in the past. Not only will this consume less energy, it will also last longer.

These are only a few of the things that you can do to make your home consumer less energy. There are several reasons why you need to make your home more energy efficient.
First of all, it will help you save money. Energy efficiency means you are not consuming energy that is beyond what you need. If you have the wrong appliances and equipment, you could be spending more than 20% to 30% on your energy bill.
Another reason to opt for energy efficiency is to help enhance the quality of life in your home. As mentioned, one of the things that you have to do is to insulate your house. That will make it more comfortable regardless of the weather outside.
Consider these as you work your way to a more energy efficient home.
