Potential Savings

Investing in your home's energy efficiency is one of the best investments that can be made in our current economy. Every dollar you are able to save on your energy bill is worth more than a dollar that you must work to earn. Every dollar you earn in wages must have taxes deducted from it, plus the expenditure of fuel and the time it took to earn that dollar. If you can save $500 to $1,000 on your yearly energy bills, that can be worth a lot in the long run! The savings potentials on most current homes are very significant.

The Department of Energy states that most homes can save $180 a year by just simply installing a programmable thermostat.  You can save 20% off of your heating and cooling bills by having your ducts sealed and insulated, a low cost high return improvement. Replacing older heating and cooling equipment with modern equipment can save you $200 or more a year. Sealing and adding insulation can easily cut another 20% off your heating and cooling bills. All of these savings add up fast and a return on your investment in your home's energy efficiency can be realized very quickly. Most of the changes recommended by our home energy efficiency assessments will pay for themselves in 2 years or less.
