How to Save Money Home Energy Tips

Save Dollars Home Energy Bills

There are a multitude of ways of how to save money on home energy, that do not cost thousands of dollars. Omaha’s Heating and AC company, Snell Heating AC offers suggestions on how to keep more of your hard earned dollars in your pocket.

Least Expensive Solutions

Every 15 years or so we recommend you replace your old, less efficient furnace and air conditioning unit. In the meantime, you can trim your energy bill by simply planting shaded trees near your home. Another tip, is adding insulation in your home attic and walls, a one time cost.

Twice a year we suggest you do an internal and external inspection around your home’s perimeter. Then, seal cracks around windows. Here’s another recommendation that many people do not think of. Tightly close fireplace damper when not in use. Keeping it open wastes energy costs.

Refrain from buying traditional incandescent bulbs, and replace them with energy star bulbs that use less energy, produce less heat and last longer.

If your refrigerator or dryer needs replacing, look for the Energy Star symbol and compare. Their logo on big ticket items is a certification that means the product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
