Energy-Efficient Renovations

1. Windows and Doors--caulk around windows and doors. Also caulk areas where plumbing lines or electrical wiring extend to the exterior of the home.


2. Floor and Wall Insulation--Make sure insulation is used at potential gaps such as around an attic stairway or over the attic access door.


3. Shedding a Little Light--By replacing traditional incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents, you can use up to 75% less energy.


4. Appliances and HVAC Systems--Start by changing filters of your HVAC systems regularly and consider upgrading older appliances.


5. Buy a Programmable Thermostat--These are fairly easy to install. For every degree that a thermostat is set back, you may realize a savings between 1-3% on your heating or cooling bills.
