5 Energy Saving Tips for Nevada Homeowners!
These days, everyone is trying to lower their use of energy and the costs of their living. It’s not only better for the environment and economy, but better for your wallet too! With all the extra money you will be saving, you will be able to look into better Nevada home insurance policies! Protecting your home is equally as important as saving energy because both affect you. Here are a few ways to save energy in your home, starting now!
#1: Kill the lights. Make sure to turn off lights when you are not around or when sunlight is enough to keep the room bright. A great way to save energy is to take out all your incandescent bulbs and replace them with energy-saving compact fluorescent lights.
#2: Replace your water heater. Old water heaters are not as efficient as new and improved ones. Looking for high-efficiency models may seem pricey but they will be worth it. With your water heater being one of the most energy sucking parts of your home, it’s the most important to look into.
#3: Monitor your air conditioner. Let’s face it- we love the AC but seriously! The bill comes in and you want to cry. The best time to turn on your AC is at night when everyone is home and trying to sleep comfortably. When you are not around, it’s best to turn it off. Trying to save the environment? Just open up your windows—a little fresh air is always good.
#4: Unplug appliances. Even having appliances plugged in will suck energy up. If you are not using the toaster, unplug it. Done using your electric toothbrush? Unplug it until it needs a good charging. We realize it may be a hassle to unplug the television and stereo every time so don’t go that far. But all the little appliances will add up.
#5: Full loads only. This includes the dishes and laundry! Don’t turn the dishwasher on for a few forks and plates. Make sure to fill it up to its capacity and turn it on a low cycle. Same goes for your laundry. Saving water and energy!
