Ways to Save Energy in your Home

The best way to save money is to reduce your energy use. Follow these strategies to save money to systematically evaluate where to apply your efforts or investment dollar. For example, automating home systems such as heating and cooling can save 25% while avoiding “thermostat battles.”

Everyone uses electricity for lighting. Outdoor solar lights are inexpensive and take advantage of free sunlight. By using the Sun's power through

For indoor lighting, compact fluorescent bulbs are excellent. Each one you install will save you $9 per year.
