You know better than anyone else how you spend your money. Look at your bills to determine if the cost of heating, hot water, or electricity has changed in the last 12 months. Even if they haven't, it is still a good idea to give everything a once over. Check the hot water heater. Do you really need the water to be as hot as it is? If not, turn it down a bit. Is the tank insulated? Save a few more dollars by buying a water tank insulation wrap and installing it. Anyone can do it. Do you have appliances plugged in that are not used regularly? If you do, unplug them. These things use power.
The whole idea of your home energy audit is to save money. Once you have checked the major energy consumers in your home, go one step further and make some changes that will conserve even more. Leaky windows compare to throwing dollar bills out of them. Whether it is winter and the heat is leaking or the air conditioning is cooling the yard, your dollars are not being spent wisely. Consider replacing old leaky windows. Installing energy efficient lighting in your home is another way to conserve energy. Even cutting back on the size of the light bulbs you use will make a difference. Be sure to service your furnace at least once per heating season and change your filters monthly to get optimal use of your heating dollars. Turn off all computers when not in use.
What your Home Energy Audit Will Do for YouNow that you have evaluated your home for energy efficiency and made some small changes, you should see the savings start to add up. Even if it is just a few pennies or dollars here and there, it all adds up to a larger sum at the end of the year. Save your bills and evaluate your savings every month. You will be surprised at how much your audit is saving you. Plan a night out knowing the cost is covered by your energy-smart projects.
