Another easy way to make your home or business more energy efficient is through upgrades. These are the ones we recommend most:
Install high-performance showerheads and faucet aerators in all sinks to save energy costs while efficiently heating water and maintaining pressure.
Replace your old, leaky windows with high-efficiency ones and save about 15% on heating and cooling costs.
Fix any defective plumbing or dripping faucets.
Cover hot water pipes — and the first six feet of cold water pipes — with pipe insulation.
Have your equipment serviced annually by a qualified contractor to ensure maximum energy efficiency and to evaluate if it might be time to replace it with a more efficient unit.
