Below is more information on home energy efficiency. And here is a link to some of our most common questions on home energy efficiency.

Heating

The most important tip in heating is to minimize the heat your home needs by insulating and sealing air leaks. Then, create the heat you need in the most efficient way possible with a high efficiency system using a reasonably priced fuel.

Cooling

In addition to using an efficient air conditioner, here are the two easiest way to cut your air conditioning bills. 1) raise your thermostat from 73 up to 76. And 2) keep the curtains closed on the sunny side of the home.

Water Heating

Hot water is primarily used in two places; clothes washing and bathing. Switch from hot to cold clothes washing for significant savings and shorten your shower time for additional savings.

Appliances

If you have not already done so, upgrade to a new Energy Star refrigerator.

Lighting

LED Light bulbs really cut your lighting costs. They use a very small percent of standard incandescent bulbs.

Other

Do you run a dehumidifier in a damp location? Portable dehumidifiers are not cheap to run. They are fine if you only need to dry an area occasionally. However, if you have an ongoing humidity problem, check with Precision Comfort Systems for a more energy efficient solution.
