3 Easy Strategies to Conserve Energy in Your Home

April 30, 2018 by Phillip Isaacs

Energy efficiency is no longer a trend in homes; it’s now a requirement as electric bills are slowly increasing year after year. Energy efficiency also improves overall home performance, such as how comfortable your home will be throughout the year.

In this post, your experts at California Energy Consultant Service discuss easy strategies to conserve and improve the energy efficiency of your home.

Replace Old Windows

Your home’s windows establish natural ventilation and insulation, two important aspects of any energy efficiency plan. So, it comes as no surprise that old and worn windows waste energy, not to mention they look dull and unappealing.

We recommend replacing your drab windows by a window replacement contractor like us. Not only does this increase the comfort and energy efficiency of your home, it also updates your exterior’s visuals, which is always a nice bonus.

Pull the Plugs

It may sound simple and may not seem to affect the home that much, but pulling plugs out of sockets when the devices aren’t in use can go a long way. Make it a point to unplug electrical devices, such as laptops, personal computers and even mobile phones, when you’re done charging them.

Close Empty Rooms

You should also close rooms that aren’t being used. This will result in an overall reduction in the amount of area that your HVAC system needs to regulate, which also means you can dial down your heating and cooling a bit.
