YOU CAN PERMANENTLY LOWER YOUR ENERGY BILLS MONTHLY WITH A LITTLE EFFORT AND SOME MINOR CHANGES TO, IN AND AROUND YOUR HOUSE.
We will briefly pause to consider multiple angles, considerations and consequences of House Energy And Cost Efficiency, trying to find out more about
- What Is It
- Why It Matters
- What The Options Open To Homeowners To Conserve And Save Are Exactly
Here are some interesting facts and perspectives on cost and energy conservation at the residential level:
- Low-income households spend nearly 14% of their total annual income on energy.
- Other households spend only 3.5% of their annual income, on average, on energy.
- Low-income families often cut back on other necessities to pay their energy bills
Faced with these challenges, the government, through agencies and initiatives like The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) still continues, way beyond its early-day birth by necessity with the Arab oil embargos in the early 70s.
The program focuses in on implementing so-called low-cost conservation measures that help rake in the dollars and savings right off the bat, cutting down on consumption, reducing waste and the like. One such example is plastic window insulation, to reduce heating and cooling bills (depending on the season).
But, you can also, as a home-owner, with pride of ownership, personal and financial interest in cost-cutting and energy-conservation, address whole-house energy efficiency and promote a whole-community approach.
Enabled technology and advances in research, measurement and analysis, now enable thermal thermography and other methods to get better and clearer understanding of the ‘problems’ or areas of opportunities in each home and how best to respond to those needs to save money and energy effectively and successfully.
There are many great strides made in helping home-owners deal and cope with rising energy costs, utility bills and related concerns for cost-cutting and energy conservation, lower consumption and spending. Some resort to using all the tools at their disposal, like
Computerized energy audits
Advanced diagnostic equipment
Blower door, manometer, or infrared camera
To ascertain the most and BEST customized, cost-effective measures appropriate for THEIR OWN home.
Here are just some suggestions of what you might be able to do to make your home more cost and energy efficient:
Keeping the roof in great repair
Installing insulation in walls, floors, and attics
Reducing air infiltration
Minimizing air pressure imbalances
Sealing and repairing ducts
Cleaning and vacuuming
Tuning and repairing heating and cooling units
Installing energy efficient appliances (removing older inefficient ones)
