Six Surprising Ways Your Home Can Better Conserve Energy

It’s always in the interests of homeowners and the public at large to conserve energy! See how you can play your part (and lower bills) today – click now!

Energy costs are rising at an alarming rate due to inflation and supply chain disruption.

You are paying a hefty price for the spike in energy prices. And your quality of life is being impacted by the limited energy supply.

It is beneficial to learn how to conserve energy during these times of scarcity.

Cut down on your carbon footprint by creating an environmentally friendly home. Learn six surprising ways you can conserve energy in your home.

1. Unplug Idle Electronics and Appliances

Many electronics and appliances have indicator lights that stay on while they are not in use. Save on home bills by unplugging electronics and appliances you are not using.

2. Pay Attention to Energy Ratings

The appliances you buy for your home come with energy efficiency ratings. This rating lets you know how much energy an appliance will use when it is plugged in.

Do Mother Earth a favor and buy appliances with a high energy efficiency rating.

3. Utilize Mother Nature

Having an eco-friendly house is as easy as allowing Mother Nature to supply your needs. And nature is available to you free of charge.

Utilize the Cross-Breeze

You do not always need to use air conditioning and fans to cool your home. Open your windows on milder days and allow the cross-breeze to cool off your home.

Use Natural Light

Open the remote control roller blinds on sunny days and let the natural light brighten your home. You will extend the life of your lightbulbs and save on electricity by not using lights during the day.

4. Alternative Heating Sources

Use alternative heating sources to save money on your heating bill in the winter. Heat sources like kerosene heaters and fireplaces provide heat without using any electricity.

Kerosene Heaters

Buy a battery-operated kerosene heater to use in power outages or energy shortages. But keep these heaters in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home as a precaution while using a kerosene heater.

Fireplace or Wood Heaters

Fireplaces and wood heaters can warm your home at a fraction of the price of central heating. You can buy firewood like kiln dried logs from the store or gather free wood from your yard.

Use this alternative heating option with caution and never leave a fire unattended.

5. Solar Power

Power your home with solar energy and get off the power grid. You can collect solar energy by installing solar panels on your roof.

Find out how you can prepare your home for solar energy.

6. Keep Your Thermostat on Auto

You waste energy when you let your air or heat run for hours at a time. Set your thermostat to auto, so it shuts off when it reaches a set temperature.

Conserve Energy

It is hard to conserve energy if you normally do not pay attention to your energy consumption. You spend less on energy bills when you aim to use less energy in your home.
