Knowledge is the first step toward change

Energy audits are a great way to determine your energy usage and areas where you can decrease it. They can range from simple to complex and are great for both home and work.

Home energy audits take into account lighting, heating/cooling and appliances. Making small changes to these areas can reduce your energy bills and save money.

In just a few minutes, a simple home energy audit can summarize your energy bill for the last 12 months. Using the Energy Star web site, you can input this data to see how your home compares to others in your area. The site also provides a list of actions you can take to reduce your energy consumption, like purchasing Energy Star labeled products and using compact fluorescent lightbulbs.

Utility companies and the government offer a variety of rebates and incentives for installing energy efficient products. Visit our Rebates page to learn more.
