Tips on Saving Energy Greenbacks in your house
A characteristic U.S. Family spends more than $1,600 a year on home power and water bills, yet making some easy changes round the home can economize and make heating and cooling systems more effective, according to World Energy Solutions, a public traded energy services company based in St. Petersburg, Fla.
By evaluating facilities and equipment, World Energy Solutions (symbol: WEGY) helps businesses lower their utility consumption and maintenance costs and extend the life of their equipment.
“Many of the energy-saving methods we use for our commercial consumers can also be applied to the home,” announces Benjamin Croxton, CEO of World Energy Solutions. “There are plenty of common sense, inexpensive and no-cost methods to lower your house energy use as well as many new technologies that may be applied to your house’s energy-consuming systems.”
Here are a couple of pointers from the North American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy on things owners can do to make their homes more energy efficient :
* Turn down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting.
* Use energy-saving settings on chillers, dishwashers, washing machines and garments dryers.
* Use compact fluorescent bulbs, which can save three-quarters of the electricity used by incandescents. First to be replaced should be any 60-watt to 100-watt bulbs that are used several hours a day.
* Have your heating and cooling systems serviced in the fall and spring. Duct sealing can also improve the energy efficiency and overall performance of your furnace or central air conditioner.
* Clean or replace furnace, air conditioner and heat-pump filters.
* evaluate your cooling and heating systems to ascertain if you must replace or retrofit them to make them work better to supply the same comfort, or better, with less energy.
“If your home’s central air-conditioning system is over 10 years old, a new up-to-the-minute system can save you thirty p.c or more of your house’s air-conditioning expense,” announces George Hiker , air-conditioning expert with World Energy Solutions.
