that almost half of that amount is just for heating and cooling?
that the amount you spend on energy bills could be lower?
It's true. With a few improvements to your home, the amount you pay to the energy company can go down, which means the amount left in your wallet goes up!
It's that simple: Save Energy. Save MONEY.
For example, a typical home loses around 20% of it's conditioned air into the crawlspace or attic due to poorly sealed duct connections. What that means is that 20% of the air you are paying to heat or cool - never even makes it into your house!
Or consider this: aside from the duct system, the typical building envelope, or 'shell' of the house leaks about double the amount of air that it should under natural conditions. Cracks, small holes, and penetrations for wiring, lighting, plumbing and ductwork can add up to as much air loss as an open window!
However, the EPA estimates that a knowledgeable homeowner or contractor can cost-effectively seal air leaks throughout the house and add insulation in the attic and floor - cutting as much as 20% off their heating and cooling costs!
If you do the math, that's about $200 a year in savings! And that's just air sealing and insulation, we've not talked about lighting, appliances, water heating or any other energy saving projects.
