Energy Efficient? No?

I am apologizing for #7 right now!

Here are some ways to make your home more energy efficient:

  1. Replace incandescent light bulbs with LED lights

  2. Install a programmable thermostat to regulate heating/cooling

  3. Insulate your home to reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer

  4. Seal air leaks around doors and windows

  5. Upgrade to Energy Star certified appliances

  6. Install low-flow showerheads and faucets to reduce water usage

  7. Use a clothesline or drying rack instead of a clothes dryer

  8. Install solar panels to generate electricity from the sun

  9. Use a smart power strip to reduce standby power usage

  10. Plant trees or install shading devices to reduce the amount of solar heat gain.
