Energy Efficiencies

By
Real Estate Agent with Rinehart Realty

Right now it seems all of us are doing everything we can to save money during these tough economic times and this includes being efficient in our own homes.  We all know to turn out lights when not in a room, but there are some other items we tend to forget that can make an impact on energy bills especially with the changing of the season. 

*  This time of year be sure to use ceiling fans to keep the air circulating and keeping rooms cool as the temperature outside begins to heat up.  Make sure ceiling fans are rotating so that the air is being pushed down.

*  As light bulbs burn out replace them with the new energy efficient bulbs.  These light bulbs are more expensive than traditional light bulbs, but they last much longer and cost less to use saving extra money with this small change.

*  Change all the filters in your house.  Dust can build up and if the filters are not changed out regularly they are not performing appropriately causing you to waste money from inefficiencies.

*  With the changing of the seasons have your A/C unit serviced.  Many small undetected problems can result in unnecessary costs being spent.

*  Open windows and let the fresh air in.  Enjoy the changing of the seasons and bring the great outdoors inside.
