Reduce Electrical Usage
To save energy around the house, start by reducing your electrical usage. Unplug chargers and devices when not in use, turn off lights, appliances, and electronics when not in use. You can also replace incandescent bulbs with LED or CFL bulbs, which use significantly less energy.
Insulate Your Home
Insulating your home is one of the most effective ways to save energy around the house. Add insulation to your attic, walls, and floors to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. You can also add storm windows or apply caulk to seal air leaks.
Use Energy Efficient Lights and Appliances
When it comes to lighting, use LED bulbs that consume significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs. Replace traditional light bulbs with energy-efficient options like CFLs or halogen lamps. Additionally, look for appliances with the ENERGY STAR label, which indicates they meet energy efficiency standards.
