Thomasville Energy Saving Tips and Tools

The City of Thomasville has graciously provided a Home Energy Calculator for its residents. You can find out why your energy costs have changed. Learn where your money is going in energy usage each month. Get recommendations on how to lower your costs. You can even get a complete review of your own Thomasville household's personal energy usage.

First, fill out a brief questionnaire. The more detailed you are, the better overview you will receive. Describe your home's layout, HVAC system, appliances, etc. Type in the year it was built, the square footage and how many occupants reside there. The Home Energy Calculator will weigh each of these factors together. You will receive a comprehensive overview of where your family uses the most energy. Then, you will know where to concentrate on increasing efficiency.

Another one of the Thomasville Energy Saving Tips and Tools provided is an appliance calculator. See what your appliances really cost you to operate. The lighting and TV calculators provide similar information. Do you use a space heater? Find out what they cost to operate. Visit the Home Energy Library to check out specific information on different areas of your household. Learn the fundamentals of electricity. The City's Interactive Energy Home is a fun graphic of an energy efficient home.
