We all want to reduce the monthly bills showing up in our mailbox. With credit cards, energy bills, and mortgages, they seem endless. What if you were able to lower one of those bills monthly without changing your quality of life? The realization can happen in the summer when you pay attention to energy usage and work to drive that bill down. Our home energy audit Jacksonville team has plenty of strategies to help make your summer energy bill trend downward instead of up.
Start With a Home Energy Audit
You always want to start with a home energy audit. A home energy audit is something we have a team of professionals executes by coming out to the home and reviewing energy usage. We will look to see how well the house is insulated and how the roof and windows are acting.
The goal of a home energy audit is to determine just how efficient the household is compared to the energy it is using. Is your home is wasting energy? One of our audits can help to identify that and also give you action items that you can work towards.
Addressing Items on the Report
When we hand you the energy audit report, we want to give you things you can work on. You want to discuss some of the items on the report based on their level of importance. What is most important for you to take on right away? Was the revelation made on your home windows? Were they wasting energy left and right? Perhaps the problem point was the central air conditioning system that you are running day in and day out. Has the unit been tuned up lately to help it run better? The air ducts could be another easy problem area if they have not been routinely cleaned for years.
Take Action, Grab Low-Hanging Fruit
You can take action by grabbing what we like to call the low-hanging fruit. These are the easy victories that can go a long way in helping to reduce energy usage in the home. Think of low-hanging fruit as a tune-up of your central air conditioning system. It is not going to take much from a time or resource perspective to get one of our pros out to tune up the system. It can make a big difference in its performance across the board. Another excellent example is only turning the temperature of your central air conditioning system up a few degrees when you are not home, to save on how hard it has to work.
Our home energy audit Jacksonville team always comes up with some unique and exciting ways to help you conserve energy. It falls on you as the homeowner to research each of these further. Grab that low-hanging fruit, and begin to take action! The summer is a time when energy bills can skyrocket. Allow us to help you in this area so you can reduce those bills while still maintaining that cool and comfortable temperature you enjoy inside the home.
