How to Keep Your Home Energy Efficient


 
Home Improvement

Energy consumption is something that homeowners, scientists, politicians, and HVAC specialists all spend a lot of time thinking about. The reason for everyone's preoccupation with the ways that devices like refrigerators, furnaces, and air conditioning units use energy is that energy is expensive and in some cases non-renewable. For a homeowner, having high utility bills each month can make them much poorer. Using less energy or using it more efficiently can save lots of people a large chunk of change. If you are counting your dollars and cents and seeing how you can make a difference in your monthly budget, figuring out ways to make your home a little more energy efficient can go a long way. Here are ways you can update your home and your commercial control heating in New Orleans for energy savings.

Make Sure You Have Insulation in the Right Places

In layman's terms, insulation is the yellow or pink fluffy, scratchy stuff between your walls. The different colors of insulation actually designate how well it retains heat. Insulation is essential to keeping your heating bills low. If you have insulation in the right areas, you won't need as much heat and electricity usage to keep your house warm and toasty in the cold winter months.

Unfortunately, there are several spots in home where insulation is commonly absent, causing significant heat loss. Attics, crawl spaces, and between walls are all areas that often don't contain any type of insulating material. If your heating bill is high compared to your neighbors with similar houses, go through these commonly-missed areas. You can also hire a professional to come in and do thermal imaging and visual inspections to determine where heat is escaping.

Re-Do Your Weather Stripping

Weather strips are the plastic strips at the bottom of doors leading to the outside of homes. These strips keep air from escaping from the inside, and they play a great role in insulating your home. Often, weather strips get worn over the years and are never replaced. Replacing weather strips is certainly nobody's idea of a fun Friday night. To test your weather strips, place a piece of paper on the floor next to your door. If the weather stripping goes over the top of the paper instead of sweeping it backwards, your strip is not low enough to keep air from escaping. You can also burn some incense near your door to see if the smoke gets sucked outside. Weather strips are relatively inexpensive and easy to install yourself.

Get New Windows

Old windows are often single-pane and let air escape. In the winter, you might be paying to heat the outdoors! In the summer, all your icy indoor air might be evaporating into the hot sun. Replacing old windows can make your home a lot more energy efficient and give you the benefit of a smaller utility bill each month.

Replace Old Heating and AC Units

If you have an aging furnace or AC unit, they are probably not functioning at the optimal level. Of course, you don't want to replace something that's working fine, but if your unit breaks down, investing in a new model can save you monthly. Today's commercial control heating in New Orleans and air conditioning use the latest technologies to make sure that a business or home is heated or cooled to a specific temperature and no more. They make use of more efficient parts to reduce the amount of electricity is needed to run them, which will also save you money. Take a look at the newer models of your units and consult a professional about the savings you can claim.
