When some people think of "going green", they may think of how drastically they would have to change their lives in order to do so. That really is not the case. Just saving electricity is a form of going green, and who doesn't want to save on their electric bill? Golden State Energy Consultants can help you bring your home to its peak efficiency in energy savings. There are many ways that your home could be costing you money. Not only can you improve your comfort level, but you will also become more energy efficient and reduce your utility bills as well.
With the technology available today experts in energy efficiency can use an infrared camera to see where your house has leaks. If any leaks are found you can have your home properly sealing to retain energy better. If your home has a forced-air heating and cooling system then you could be loosing about 20% to 30% of the air that moves through the ducts because of leaks. To prevent this from happening you would need to have checked to make sure there are no leaks, holes, and that they are properly connected. A great way to save on your electricity is a tankless water heater. Water is only heated as you use it, rather than like a traditional water heater, where water sits in the tank and is kept hot until you use it. A tankless water heater can, in the right situation, reduce your energy consumption by 40%. That is a huge savings. Although a tankless water heater may not be the optimal choice if you have a large number of people that will be taking short showers.
These are just a few of many, many ways that you can cut your utility bills and "go green". Just remember that going green does not have to be a huge expense. Something as simple as changing to energy efficient light bulbs can be a step in the right direction. So next time you pay your electric bill, think about making that first step.
