With decades of experience, we have the energy saving tips you need to reduce energy and electrical costs while contributing to a greener tomorrow. From energy audit services to tried-and-true energy savings solutions, we have you covered.
Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs)
Make an impactful change with energy saving light bulbs, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). CFLs are equipped with an ENERGY STAR label and are available in many shapes, colors, and sizes. These additions last 10x longer than standard bulbs and use up to 75% less electricity, drastically lowering electrical bills for a quick return on investment.
Lighting Control Solutions
Lighting accounts for up to 20% of a residential electrical bill. As such, it’s time to pair your energy saving light bulbs with a dimmer installation. Dimmers reduce the bulb’s electricity draw, and when paired with a timer, motion-detector switch, or photo-sensitive switch, lights can become automated. This contributes to reduced electrical costs and carbon emissions.
Programmable Thermostats
Gone are the days of forgetting to turn off your thermostat when you leave for work. With programmable thermostats, energy savings are unparalleled. These systems allow you to set timers to ensure your home remains comfortable without energy over-consumption, helping you drastically reduce electrical expenses year-round.
Energy Star Appliance Upgrades
Many believe that keeping outdated appliances is more cost-effective than investing in updated appliances. In contrast, upgrading to ENERGY STAR appliances can save up to 25% on energy bills. These appliances meet strict efficiency guidelines regulated by the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency, contributing to reduced utility bills and environmental benefits.
