Water Heater Quick Tips
 |
Window Quick Tips A considerable amount of heat transfers through windows. If you have single-pane windows, consider doing the following:
|
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. |
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. |
What Can You Do? Compact Flourescent Lights (CFLs) are 70% more effective than incandescent bulbs and about $2 a piece. The paycheck is a few months. |
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. |
