DIY HOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY & SAVINGS
1
Do a deep dive on your energy use.
You can often reduce your bills just by taking a look at what systems or appliances waste the most energy. If you’re not sure, give us a call. We’ll ask you some questions about your home’s heating and cooling systems, insulation, lighting, and appliances. This gives us a better picture of where your home may be using more energy than necessary.
2
Seal It.
Sometimes, sealing a home’s air leaks and improving insulation are all you need to make your house more efficient and comfortable. Stop drafts by sealing gaps and cracks with caulking, weather-strip windows and doors, and fill any large gaps in basement crawl spaces, dryer vents, windows, and foundations.
Find out more at www.efficiencyvermont.com/DIY or work with an Efficiency Excellence Network (EEN) contractor to get up to $2,500 back.
3
In the cooler temperatures turn down the the thermostat.
You can save 2%-3% on energy costs for every degree you lower the heat when you leave for the day and just before going to bed. Or, use a smart thermostat that learns a household’s patterns.
4
Upgrade to more efficient appliances and electronics.
When an appliance is at the end of its well-worn life (like a 15-year-old refrigerator), it’s time to trade it in for a more energy- and cost-efficient model. We can help you do research—find and compare products at www.efficiencyvermont.com/shop.
5
Pick the better bulb.
Get the brightness, color, and quality you demand— ENERGY STAR® LEDs last up to 15 times longer than incandescent light bulbs. Plus, they are more efficient, generate less heat, and provide the same amount of light.
Not all LEDs are created equally, so make sure you look for the ENERGY STAR logo to find a quality bulb that won’t quit.
6
Turn it off. ALL the way off.
The easiest thing you can do to save energy is turn electronics off when you’re not using them. That means powering them down completely to avoid “phantom electricity loads,” or investing in an advanced power strip with technology to cut the power to devices that aren’t in use.
