Making your home more energy efficient doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. There are a number of small changes you can make that will have a huge impact on your energy usage.

One of the best ways to make your home more energy efficient is to install Solar Panels on your home. Solar Panels can be used to generate electricity, heat your water and they’re a great way to reduce your reliance on fossil fuels.

Another way to make your home more energy efficient is to improve your insulation. This will help you to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer which in turn will help reduce your energy bill. There are many different options to consider when looking at upgrading your insulation:

• Spray Foam Insulation
• Fiberglass
• Blown -in Insulation
• Radiant Barrier

Using energy efficient lighting, installing a programmable thermostat, weather stripping for your windows and doors and upgrading to more energy efficient appliances are also easy ways to make your home more energy efficient.  There are a number of other ways you can make your home more energy efficient, including upgrading your windows, doors, replacing your current screens with solar screens as well as purchasing batteries.
