Bringing down the power and gas bill is something that everyone is going after. Today, I want to share a few tips that will not only lower your monthly energy bills, but also reduce your carbon footprint, which is good for everyone in our community.
Consider installing a tank-less water heater. You'll no longer have to store water to heat later -- it's just there!
If you want to be more energy efficient, head down to the nearest home improvement store to discover the latest in flooring technology. There are some great materials that will keep your feet warm and your house cool.
Solar roof panels are another great energy option. It sucks in sunlight, converts it to energy, and really reduces the amount of energy you use from the grid. If you choose to install solar panels, be sure to read your lease correctly to avoid costly issues.
Reclaimed wood is another great way to make your home more energy efficient. Instead of going down to your local big-box home improvement store, go somewhere that offers reclaimed wood and use that instead.
Another item that will save you a ton of money is a programmable thermostat. A Nest Thermostat will learn your habits, only heating and cooling your home when you are present.
Energy Star ceiling fans are great for keeping your home cool as well as for circulating heat throughout various rooms in your home. I have them all over my home and I love them!
Yet another energy-efficient item to consider is Low-VOC paint (Low Volatile Organic Compound Paint. This will cut down on respiratory issues and other things that are just not good for your health!
