If you catch yourself thinking about the lights in your home or office from time to time, then you are likely wondering what changes could be made to start saving energy in order to put more money back in your pocket. Aside from good habits such as turning off the lights when leaving a room, a great way to start saving is to replace your lights with more energy-efficient lighting options. In choosing a replacement, you have a lot of options to pick from which can be overwhelming. However, although the options are numerous in terms of brightness and coloring, you can rest at ease knowing that they all fall into just a handful of categories; primarily incandescent, CFL and LED.

Home insulation is an important factor in keeping utility costs down, lowering your energy usage, and making your home more comfortable. A well-insulated home can help prevent outside temperatures from working against your heating and cooling system by reducing the amount of heat flow between the inside and outside of the home. This means your heater runs less in the winter, and your air conditioner runs less in the summer. On average, you can save up to 20% on your home's heating and cooling costs or up to 10% on its total energy costs by properly insulating your home and reducing unwanted air leaks all around your house*.

For most homeowners and businesses the largest source of energy use - and thus the greatest area of potential for energy and cost savings - comes from the use of their air conditioning systems. Most air conditioning systems are not properly maintained, serviced or tuned up and are not running at optimal levels. Add to that, most have leaky and improperly sized air distribution or duct systems. Each of these problems represents significant energy waste. You can tap into this enormous energy saving potential by bringing the HVAC equipment and air distribution system up to current standards.
