Make a Difference:  Prevent energy leaks at home

 

Use less!  Do more!  This year, make a commitment to change a few habits for the benefit of our environment. Gaithersburg residents are making their commitments as we approach Make a Difference Day on Friday, April 5, 2013.  Small actions can add up to significant savings in our consumption of water, energy, and other natural resources.

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 are your commitments to make a difference?

Getting an energy audit makes great sense for home owners.

  We send out  a monthly newsletter that usually features energy saving tips...no matter what the season, the savings can be very valuable.

Be American, don't export any more money for the black stuff. Conserve, reduce, wear a snow suit and do jumping jacks during commercial breaks during Wheel of Fortune. 52 is the new 68.

If you don't take any action you can see your electric bill creep up and up as rates increase.  Pay me now or pay me later..
