The Good Kind of Audit

While we all have good intentions and most of us want to lessen our carbon footprint, money matters and every time a new energy efficient refrigerator comes out we can’t all rush to the store to buy a new one.  With electric bills rising, when and how do you go green?  In order to maximize your household’s energy efficiency you first need to review your current electricity usage. We recommend getting a home energy audit, which will help identify where you are wasting the most the energy.  A home energy audit can help you save a lot my making suggestions on power conservation and help any questions you may have about greener appliances that are tailored to your budget.  While these audits might sound expensive, most utilities providers will perform a free audit to help reveal any hidden factors spiking your energy bill. Also you can do it yourself on online.  While there are many free internet resources, we like Home Energy Saver.   This site gives you money saving tips and helps calculate when buying a new energy efficient appliance will save you money.
