How to Make Your Home More Eco-Friendly This Summer

iStock_000009875000_MediumLooking to make your home a little more eco-friendly this summer?  Taking some time to green your space is good for the environment and it can help provide you with long-term savings.  Here a few ways to make your home more energy-efficient.

Eco-Friendly Home Tips:

  •  Replace Light Bulbs – Incandescent light bulbs aren’t as efficient as compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL).  Switching to CFL bulbs can even save 400 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per incandescent light you trade out!
  • Unplug Appliances – Many appliances are left plugged in, using energy when they’re not in use.  Unplug your TV to save electricity when it’s not in use.
  • Install Low-Flow Plumbing – Installing a water-efficient toilet and showerhead can help you save water and money.
  • Improve Your Home Insulation – Many older homes don’t have enough insulation in the walls and attic.  Adding insulation or upgrading your home insulation to spray foam insulation can help improve the energy-efficiency of your home.

Customer Reviews

Excellent
"Excellent . The Estimator showed up 2 minutes before the appointed time & after a quick 20-minute survey of the exterior of the house, was able to give me a written estimate. The rest of the job was conducted in similar fashion. The installation crew showed up on time, were competant & courteous & completed job on time. When completed, I was asked to walk the job to make sure the cleanup was acceptable. Not enough "cold" time has gone by for me to comment on the reduction in heating costs but as for the work, this outfit gets my unqualified recommendation."

So Much Warmer
"House is so much warmer now. The tech built a 100 sq ft storage area in my attic which I think is working great."
