1. INSTALL EFFICIENT LIGHTBULBS AND LIGHT FIXTURES

Old fluorescent bulbs and outdated light fixtures consume far more energy than modern bulbs and fixtures. To achieve the same amount of light coverage while drastically reducing energy consumption. Consider installing modern LED lights and swapping out old fixtures for new units with built-in LED lighting. It is also possible to reduce energy costs without reducing visibility by using natural light during the day instead of turning on your lights.

2. UTILIZE A PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT

For the average home, temperature control represents one of the largest energy expenses every year. To reduce these energy costs, many homeowners are switching to programmable or smart thermostats. Depending on whether you are at home or away, these units allow you to set different temperatures. Further reducing energy consumption and wear on your heater/air conditioner. Apps are available for many of these devices that allow manual adjustments from anywhere at any time.

3. PURCHASE HIGH-QUALITY WINDOWS AND INSULATION

Temperature control often overlooks insulation and windows. Cheap insulation and thin windows can cause the interior of your home to be more susceptible to extreme external temperatures.

This allows you to use cold water to achieve the same level of cleanliness while cutting down on energy usage.
