We all know about making sure you have plenty of insulation, but do you have any of these leaks? Summer heat is on its way, small efforts can yield huge energy savings for you.
1. Add Foam Backing: Did you know that adding cheap foam backing to all of your light switches and outlets will greatly reduce your cold air loss in summer and hot air loss in winter? This is a super cheap and easy way to increase your system’s efficiency. You can buy on Amazon here
2. Identify and Seal Leaks: Caulking and weather-stripping around doors, windows, and other openings can keep hot air out and cool air in.
3. Decrease Sun Exposure: Keep your curtains or blinds closed to block the sun’s rays during the hottest times of the day, and consider planting a tree or two to provide additional shade in the future. This will make it easier on your AC to keep your home cool.
4. Upgrade Wisely: Invest in energy saving upgrades based on your budget. Options could be as simple as LED lighting or a programmable thermostat, or larger investments like new insulation, energy efficient appliances, double-paned windows, solar panels, and more.
🎉Reduced Bills means more money for summer fun!
