FAQ

What are typical energy conservation solutions?

• Energy-Efficient Appliances: Choose appliances with high Energy Star ratings to ensure they operate more efficiently and use less energy.

• Proper Insulation: Insulating attics, walls, subfloors, windows, and doors to minimize heat loss during colder months and heat gain in the warmer months helps reduce the need for excessive heating and cooling.

• Smart Thermostats: Use programmable thermostats to regulate heating and cooling systems, optimizing energy use based on the household's schedule.

• LED Lighting: Replacing traditional incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs to save electricity.

• Sealing Leaks: Identifying and sealing any drafts or leaks in windows, doors, and other openings throughout the home helps to prevent the escape of conditioned air.

• HVAC System: Regularly servicing and maintaining your HVAC system to ensure it operates efficiently. This includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking for leaks, optimizing performance, and insulating ductwork to prevent energy loss.

• Behavioral Changes: Adopting energy-conscious habits such as turning off lights and electronics when not in use, using natural light during the day, and washing clothes in cold water can help reduce energy consumption.
