If you’re seeing your home energy costs rise in the summer and winter months, you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Energy and Information Administration, more than 50% of home energy consumption in the U.S. is used for heating and air conditioning. For homeowners like you, that means small improvements to the thermal efficiency of your home can have a big impact on your energy use. They can also dramatically reduce your monthly energy bill. If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and protect the environment, these home improvements will also help reduce energy waste from poor home insulation.
