Here are a few simple ones to consider, and how to make them happen:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>1. Make the Switch to LED<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>LEDs are a great example of how innovation and technology can make your life easier. They last at least 25 times longer and consume up to 90 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tip:<\/em><\/strong><em> By switching five of your home\u2019s most frequently used bulbs with ENERGY STAR\u00ae certified LEDs, it\u2019s possible to save $75 on energy costs annually. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>2. Seal Those Leaks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>On average, heating and cooling account for almost half of a home\u2019s energy consumption. In fact, all the little leaks can be equivalent to leaving open a 3-foot-by-3-foot window.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tip:<\/em><\/strong><em> Take simple steps like caulking windows, sealing leaks around chimneys and recessed lighting, and sliding draft guards under your doors to save up to 20% on heating costs. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3. Heat and Cool Efficiently<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t waste money heating or cooling an empty home. Install a programmable thermostat and in colder weather schedule your home\u2019s heat to lower when you are away or asleep and increase when you are returning home or waking-up. In warm weather, schedule the thermostat to raise the temperature when you are away or asleep, and lower it at other times.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tip:<\/em><\/strong><em> Follow the U.S. Department of Energy recommended temperatures and be energy-efficient all year.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>4. Maintain Your HVAC System<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Make sure to clean or change your furnace filters regularly. A dirty furnace filter will slow down air flow, making the system work harder to keep you warm (or cool) and costing you more money.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tip:<\/em><\/strong><em> Consider getting a winter tune-up. Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a semi-annual or yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can be vital to improve efficiency, saving you money and making your home more comfortable.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bottom Line <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By making a few key upgrades to your home, you\u2019ll save on your utility bills <em>and<\/em> improve the energy efficiency of your home.
