From small repairs to major projects, here are some key considerations for improving the overall quality of your home's insulation:
Properly sealing and insulating your home can result in substantial energy savings and lower energy costs between 7%-19%, depending on the specifics of your situation.
Regularly maintaining your heating and cooling systems can be a game-changer in terms of improving energy efficiency in your home. At SMHC, we recommend booking regular professional checkups to identify any potential issues early and keep your HVAC system functioning in peak condition.
Some simple HVAC maintenance practices that may drastically improve your home's energy efficiency include:
A smart thermostat is an advanced climate control solution that uses a combination of sensors, algorithms, and machine learning to collect data about your home's heating and cooling patterns and develop a customized schedule to precisely meet the needs of your household. Accessible remotely via your smartphone or another mobile device, it automatically tracks energy usage and can provide valuable energy consumption insights while enhancing your comfort and helping you save approximately 8% off your annual energy bills.
