3 Energy-Saving Tips for Homes & Small Businesses
With your solar panels working at peak production levels, the next step to saving money on power is to make your home as energy-efficient as possible. Here are three simple tips to get you started:
- Improve your temperature control. Seal air ducts, add insulation, and replace your windows. These upgrades will keep heat from escaping—or invading—your home or business.
- Be efficient with heating and cooling. Don’t allow your internal temperature to get to 85°F and then crank the thermostat back to 65°F. Maintain a consistent temperature to avoid overworking your air conditioning unit.
- Use eco-friendly electronics. Lighting, appliances, and water heating equipment can always be updated to more energy-efficient models.
The best tip? Install renewable energy systems (like your solar panels!) and maintain them for peak production. For more about solar panel maintenance, check out our website.
