Attention all homeowners in Arizona! Are you tired of constantly worrying about the increasing utility rates and weather struggles? Well, it’s time to invest in energy efficiency and make your home a comfortable and cost-effective place to live! The trend of green energy is taking over, and Arizona is no exception.
Here are some simple ways to start making a difference in your home:
Replace your doors and windows:
You’d be amazed at the impact that doors and windows have on the energy efficiency of your home. Replace older ones with more energy-efficient versions and choose windows with ENERGY STAR or Low E labels. Steel doors are also a popular choice due to their resistance to weather changes and advanced security benefits. Make sure to seal all doors and windows properly to eliminate drafts and save money on heating and cooling.
Upgrade to ENERGY STAR appliances: Homeowners with ENERGY STAR labeled appliances can ensure that their washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher consume minimal energy. By using these appliances during non-peak times, you can also reduce the strain on the grid.
Insulate your home:
Regardless of the method you choose, adding insulation to your home will reduce the amount of energy needed to heat and cool it. Installing insulation in the attic is a quick and easy solution to improve energy efficiency.
Install a programmable thermostat:
With a programmable thermostat, you can save money by adjusting the temperature according to your family’s schedule. Standard thermostats run all day, even when the home is empty, so this is an easy way to cut back on unnecessary energy consumption.
Go solar:
Solar energy is the most efficient way to generate power. By speaking with an energy consultant, you can determine the number of solar panels needed for your home and even get an estimate of cost with [Client’s Soar Wizard]. Not only will you save money on utilities, but you’ll also add value to your property. According to a recent study by Zillow, homes with solar panels can be sold for 4.1% more than similar homes without them.
Investing in energy efficiency is a worthwhile investment that gives back. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to make your home more comfortable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Contact us at SUNSOLAR SOLUTIONS to find out how we can get you started on making your home energy efficient!
