Improving the inefficiencies and adding efficiencies to your home's heating and cooling systems can reduce your heating and cooling costs from 15% to as much as 60% (depending on large part to the age and original condition/improvements made to your home).

Here are some tips on how to achieve efficiencies in your home resulting in lower utility bills and less waste of our planet's limited resources.

  • Install a programmable thermostat
  • Have your heating/cooling systems tuned
  • Reduce leakage through exhaust systems
  • Address inefficiencies of recessed/pot lighting
  • Adjust airflow of ducting in the winter and summer
  • Seal heating and cooling ductwork
  • Reduce/eliminate leakage
  • Add insulation to exterior barriers
