Energy Efficient Home Improvement Projects Made Easy

Less Home Energy Means More Home Efficiency

Most American homes wastes at least a third of it’s energy consumption. How big is energy efficiency worth in America? We have Saudia Arabia sized oil reserves right under our own feet in energy efficiency! Tapping into negative energy is a BIG deal.

Can a negative actually be a positive?

Sure can!

When it comes to reducing home energy, negative is a good thing. The less energy your home wastes, the more energy efficient it is; this means it takes less energy to run effectively, giving you more money back and contributing less to the environment.

The term more people should be aware of is “negawatt”. A negawatt is one megawatt of energy conserved for one hour.

Most people want to make home improvements that have a positive effect on their home. Reducing home energy is the smartest negative home improvement you’ll ever make.

The only way to reduce home energy consumption, is to look at where you’re home is using the most energy. This is ultimately done through an energy audit. There’s no doubt that your home needs energy, but you may not be aware of just how much it’s using and using inefficiently.

The biggest areas where you’re home loses energy are:

1.) The attic and roof.

2.) The basement.

3.) Exterior Walls

4.) Gaps in doors and windows.

The only way to lock in energy that your home consumes, is by air sealing your home. You would be amazed at home much more existing energy your home can use when it’s not letting it slip outside.

Californians are taking action. In fact, Californians use half as much electricity as other Americans, thanks to strong governement programs promoting energy efficiency. Once the rest of America wakes up to the importance of reducing energy at home, our nation will make a giant step forward to better sustainable living.
