Home energy efficiency after your home energy score assessment

‍

^{After receiving a home energy score, it's important to take steps to improve your home's energy efficiency. Here are some tips to get started:}

Seal air leaks

Air leaks can account for a significant amount of energy loss. Look for gaps around doors, windows, and electrical outlets and seal them with weatherstripping, caulk, or spray foam.

‍

Upgrade insulation

Insulation helps to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Adding insulation in your attic, walls, and floors can help to reduce energy costs.

‍

Install energy-efficient lighting

LED light bulbs use up to 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. Consider replacing your light bulbs to save energy and money.

‍

Upgrade appliances

Older appliances can be energy hogs. Consider upgrading to Energy Star certified appliances that use less energy and water.

‍

Use a programmable thermostat

Programmable thermostats allow you to schedule temperature changes for when you are away from home or sleeping. This can help to reduce energy costs while still keeping your home comfortable.

By making these changes, you can improve your home's energy efficiency and reduce your energy bills.
