Identifying the Appliances in Your Home That Use the Most Energy
The holiday season is approaching, and we bet you are busy planning, preparing and saving money for all of the expenses that this time of year brings. While this season of life can be wonderful and relaxing, it can also be really expensive.
Finding ways to save money around your house can help you reduce your monthly bills, which can help you save that money for something more fun. Read on as we identify the appliances around your home that use the most energy—and can cost the most to run.
Your HVAC System
Your HVAC system can contribute to up to 50% of your energy usage in your household!
When the temperatures drop and the cooler winter weather arrives, your HVAC system will kick into high gear to keep you comfortable, which will directly impact your monthly bills. The higher you set your home thermostat, the more energy will be used to keep you comfortable.
The Water Heater
You probably don’t think much about your water heater on a daily basis, but it is working hard for your home to help provide warm water for doing the dishes, washing your hands and running a hot bath for your kids at the end of a long day.
They can contribute to between 10 and 12% of your monthly energy usage.
The Lights in Your Home
Every time you flick on a light switch, your energy bill goes up. Maybe you remember a parent of yours growing up who was always right behind you turning off lights or reminding you to turn off lights as you left the room, and now that you are an adult, you understand!
Lighting can account for around 10% of your home’s energy usage, and even more if you are notorious for leaving lights on all the time.
What to Do About It
While you need your HVAC system, water heater and the lights in your home, one of the best things you can do to help save money is to upgrade your insulation! Insulation can stop heat from escaping too quickly in your home, which will directly reduce the strain on your HVAC system and make your home more efficient at controlling air flow.
Our team can come out to your home and evaluate your space to identify the key areas that need an insulation boost. Once installed, you will see a direct drop in your monthly energy bills now and for years to come! We would love to help you save money, so give us a call today.
