Thermostat Quick Tip The average home will spend over $1,000 a year on heating and cooling. Programmable thermostats adjust the temperature in winter and in summer as well as during unoccupied hours. At a cost of $50 - $150 the payback can be seen in well under a year.  |
Insulation Quick Tip Attics can be great sources of heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Payback will vary depending on your region, but you'll usually recover the cost within two years. |
Light Switch Quick Tips Take a look at the lights you burn. Consider these points:
|
Window Quick Tips A considerable amount of heat transfers through windows. If you have single-pane windows, consider doing the following:
|
HVAC Quick Tip Your heating and cooling system equipment runs best when properly maintained. Change your filters on a regular basis. Having your HVAC system serviced on an annual basis will ensure that your system is not costing you more than it should as well as increase the life of the system. |
Unplug Quick Tip Check around the house to see if devices are unnecessarily plugged in. Cell phones, MP3 player chargers and appliances are still drawing power when not in use. Be aware that plasma TVs and entertainment systems are drawing power even when they are off. |
