As the ball dropped on December 31st, you might have been wondering what
resolution to make for the upcoming months. How about a New Year’s
resolution that can actually save you money? By making an effort to become
more energy efficient, not only are you helping the environment, but you
can also put more money back in your pocket. Here are some things you
can do to use less energy in 2016 from your
air conditioning experts, Del-Air.
Use a Programmable Thermostat
Different settings can automatically increase or decrease the temperature
to maximize savings without sacrificing comfort. For example, by turning
your thermostat back ten to 15 degrees for eight hours a day, you can
save five percent to 15 percent a year on energy costs.
As an added bonus, many programmable thermostats can “learn”
your habits and adjust the temperature in your home accordingly. Not only
does this improve quality of life, preventing you from entering a cold
house at the end of the day, but it also saves you money.
Conduct a Home Energy Audit
Also known as a home energy assessment, an audit is a type of checkup in
which your home is assessed for leaks, insulation issues, and furnace
and ductwork problems. By having a professional help you pinpoint where
your house is losing energy, you can save five to 30 percent on your energy
bill if you make the suggested upgrades. Not only can you cut your monthly
bills, but you can also rest assured knowing you’re protecting the
environment for generations to come.
