Tips

Home Value Tip

If you’re planning on selling your home, you should know that — if you qualify — ENERGY STAR^® will award you an official certification that states that your home is 20-30% more efficient than a standard home. Ask your real estate agent  for more information about how to market this added value for your property. 

Solar Insulation Tip

This winter, cut your heating costs by installing a radiant barrier in your attic. Made of foil, shingles, or other material, it helps to hold in your home’s heat. For best results, hire a professional to recommend and install the material most appropriate for your home.

Phantom Load Tip

Did you know that your home electronics and appliances continue to draw power even when they’re in off or standby mode? These electricity leaks are called “phantom loads”, but the cost is very real. Stop the energy thieves with smart power strips, which automatically turn your devices off when not in use.
