Make a Difference: Prevent Energy Leaks at Home

Make a Difference:  Prevent Energy Leaks at Home

  

Residents of the City of Gaithersburg are seeking ideas for Make a Difference day on Friday, April 5, 2013.  The challenge for all of us is to make commitments to change a few habits that will benefit our environment.

 

Prevent energy leaks at home:


Heating and cooling can make up nearly half of your home's energy bills each month (Energy Star: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=heat_cool.pr_hvac).  By sealing air leaks and insulating effectively, you can save money and reduce your impact on the environment.  Energy Star's Home Energy Yardstick can help you assess your home's energy performance, and their Home Advisor can recommend home improvement projects to increase energy efficiency where you live.

  

What will you be doing to make a difference?

Roy, What a great reminder that we all need to be concerned about energy saving ideas and tips. Heating and Cooling is a big part of it too, and ways to be energy efficient is highly recommended.

Energy conservation is something we all need to be concerned about. Having your home tested is the first step to saving energy.

Hi Roy.  The price of oil makes it a smart move for holes to be plugged.
