Energy Efficiency
Add a subtitle here.
Reduce your energy use
The cheapest energy is the kind you don't use!
1Turn off your lights/appliances
If you leave a room, be sure to turn off the lights. If you're not using the blender, unplug it. It sounds simple, but many people don't think twice about it!
2Utilize your shades or blinds
In the summer when it's hot, shut your blinds or shades to block out the sun and keep your home naturally cooler. In the winter, open all of your blinds/shades to let the sun in and warm your home naturally.
3Use less energy from 4-9pm
Peak hours are when most people are using electricity, so utility companies charge more during this time since there is more strain on the grid. By using appliances outside of this time frame, you can not only save money on your utility bill, but you are using less "dirty" energy.

Getting an energy audit is a great way to start. It will give you a clear picture of how you use energy, which appliances and systems use the most, and which ones will provide the "biggest bang for the buck" when you replace them. Start with low-cost, high-impact solutions and plan for bigger improvements.
