#1: Make Sure our Home Is Insulated Properly
If you want an energy-efficient home, proper insulation is a necessity. If you suspect your insulation needs to be replaced, Premier Insulation of Kentucky can help you. Our superior spray foam insulation expands to seal the cracks and gaps, making it more effective than other forms of insulation and the most energy-efficient option available.
Insulation begins with your walls and roof, but goes far beyond that. Most homes lose a significant amount of energy through their windows. If you don’t have good-quality window treatments or have gaps in your doorways, hot air can escape your home in winter, raising your bills. In summer, heat can enter and raise your bills some more! Look for cellular shades to help cut down on heat transfer through your windows.
#2: Use Smart Technology
If you don’t already have a Smart Thermometer, you should invest in one. They’re easy to install and make controlling the temperature in your home much more convenient – and can even help make your home more energy efficient. Your Smart Thermometer will trigger your HVAC system if your house gets hotter or colder than the regulations you put in place. You can also operate it remotely, so you can adjust the temperature for a long weekend if you’re going to be away.
Even better, Smart Thermostats can work together with other pieces of smart tech, like an Alexa device. Your Smart Thermometer can operate motorized window treatments, having them open or shut to make your home warmer or cooler. You could even use voice activation to turn off lights and other things throughout the house, leading to energy savings.
#3: Embrace Shade
Using shade effectively with natural elements, like trees and shrubs, can also reduce your energy bill. Shade on your windows and over your doors can keep the air around your windows and doors cooler, acting as a natural deterrent. However, ensure they’re not too close to the house, or they can ruin your foundation.
If you don’t have natural shade, adding awnings, patio covers, or pergolas can cool down the outdoor areas around your home. This is especially useful beside doors or windows because it cools the warm air. If you have kids, you know how often they can run in and out in 5 minutes.
