The trick is realizing how many ways exist in which we can improve our homes and make them more energy-efficient. We intend for these tips to help you make the most of your household.

Making the Most of Your Household

If you'd like to live in a more efficient home, consider these tips:

• Check your existing windows. Compromised seals are the main reason windows develop air leaks, and that creates a less efficient household. In addition to seals, check weatherstripping and make sure you don't need gasket repairs.
• Lower the thermostat. Even lowering it just a few degrees while you're away or before bedtime can make a huge difference. Don't lower it too much or your HVAC system will have to work too hard to get to the desired temperature when you get home and adjust the thermostat to where you want it.
• Install low-flow showerheads and toilets. Conserving water is an effective way to make your household more efficient. It's easy to waste water without realizing it by not installing fixtures and appliances that will help with that.
• Get high-quality dual pane glass windows installed and keep them well maintained. Single pane is not enough and older or inferior quality modern ones develop seal leaks. You may notice condensation between the panes and that's evidence of a seal leak. Take it from this glass replacement specialist, it does make a difference.
