Tips to help reduce my utility bills

During the winter and summer months, you constantly battle your need to stay comfortable and the need to keep your energy costs down. You do not want to be too hot or too cold, but each year you find your utility bills growing. Some of these costs can be controlled and reduced by making your home more energy efficient. The more energy efficient your home means the less time your air conditioning and furnace spend heating and cooling your home. One key thing to having an energy efficient home is keeping your climate-controlled air in and the less comfortable temperatures outside of your home. Here are some tips to keeping your utility bills under control.

Insulation

If your home is older, you might find that the insulation originally installed in your home is not sufficient to keep your home energy efficient. In fact, some of your original insulation may have disintegrated. Even in a newer home, there might be areas that can benefit from additional insulation. Many companies that install insulation will be more than willing to come to your home and evaluate the current condition to determine if you will benefit from installing additional insulation.

Heat rises, and in an uninsulated home, a quarter of heat is lost through the roof. Insulating your loft, attic or flat roof is a simple and effective way to reduce heat loss and reduce your heating bills.

Insulating your home is one of the best things you can do to reduce your energy bills and it'll make your house warmer and more comfortable, while also reducing its impact on the environment in the process.
