Our Resolution for 2021: Help You Reduce Energy Loss!

- 2:40 pm - January 4th, 2021


What kind of changes are you planning on making this year? When it came time for us to think about our resolution, we decided that we would help our customers save on their energy costs. We know it’ll be easy to stick to it with Sound Energy here to help.

What can you do to reduce energy loss in the new year? Here are a few ideas!

Replace or upgrade your home’s insulation

Over time, the insulation in the ceilings and walls of your home can shift and create gaps through which air can escape. Adding new insulation and replacing old insulation will help keep the conditioned air inside, improving your comfort and lowering energy bills.

Install and utilize a programmable, smart or Wi-Fi thermostat

Temperature controls have come a long way. Learning how to properly set up and schedule modern thermostats can help cut back on wasted energy. Bonus tip: when the house is empty or when everyone is asleep, schedule your thermostat to lower or turn off the equipment – this can save you up to 10% a year on energy costs.

Switch from incandescent light bulbs to LED light bulbs

Incandescent light bulbs consume a lot of energy and, because they produce a lot of heat, burn out often and need to be replaced. LED light bulbs, however, significantly reduce the amount of energy consumed and last a minimum of three times longer than traditional bulbs.

Seal your home

Keeping your home sealed up right will allow conditioned air to stay inside so your heating equipment won’t have to work as hard keeping up with the escaping air. This also lends itself to saving on heating costs!

Keep your heating system maintained and up to date

The efficiency of your home heating equipment decreases due to normal wear and tear and age of the equipment. When you have Sound Energy maintain your heating system with annual tune-ups, the equipment will run more efficiently and have a lower risk of breaking down. Additionally, upgrading your heating equipment to a modern, efficient model will lower heating costs.

These tips are a great place to start when it comes to cutting back on energy loss! For more tips, or assistance with the sales, installation and maintenance of new modern home heating equipment, contact us online or give us a call today!
