How to Reduce the Energy Consumption of Your Candlewood Lake Home
Summer time is a great season to enjoy and have fun. However, it is also during these warmer months that the energy consumption of most homes also goes up. Buyers looking for Candlewood Lake and Lake Lillinonah properties will surely not be impressed with a home that has high energy costs. Read on for some tips to help you make energy efficient choices without giving up the comforts of your home.
- Use programmable thermostats
You may consider buying a programmable thermostat especially if your Candlewood Lake home is vacant most of the day. Programmable thermostats can save up to $150 annually on energy costs when used properly. You can automatically turn off your cooling system when you are not at home. You can also set it to turn it on half an hour before anyone arrives home.
- Replace bulbs with CFLs
Using compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) can help save up to 75 percent of home energy costs. CFLs require less wattage to produce the equivalent amount of light of incandescent light bulbs. They also last longer, helping you save money on replacements.
- Switch and unplug
Always remember to switch off and unplug gadgets and appliances inside your Candlewood Lake real estate when you are done. Don’t forget to turn the lights off when you leave a room. Make this a smart household habit for all lights and devices, from computers to TVs. Unplug seldom used appliances like an extra refrigerator in the basement. Doing so can help you save on your utility bill.
- Place appliances far from thermostat
Avoid putting lamps or TV sets near your room’s air-conditioning thermostat. This can cause the air conditioner to run longer than necessary because the thermostat senses the heat from the appliances. Save energy by placing your appliances in a more strategic location.
- Use an electricity monitor meter
Using an electricity monitor meter helps you determine how much energy each gadget in your home uses when on and when ostensibly turned off. You may also get a home energy audit with your power company to find ways to cut energy costs.
Follow these tips and lower your energy bills and save the environment at the same time. For more smart home ideas visit https://homesinconnecticutforsale.com/
