Wouldn’t it be great to reduce the Utilities line item in your household budget? The first step in achieving an energy-efficient home requires an understanding of how your energy is being used on a daily basis. Makes sense, but how?
Most energy suppliers around the country now offer Energy Analyzers. These are simple to answer questionnaires or “audits” about your home. They ask questions about the size and type of appliances you own. To answer the questions, collect your most recent Gas & Electric bills (as few as 2, as many as 10), and input the information requested about your actual usage. The Analyzer will compare you to average users, as well as give you very specific tips for how to reduce expenditures in each category (i.e. heating, cooling, hot water, lighting, and appliances).
