I would like to know more about how to reduce our home energy usage. The winter is the season when we consume the most energy. Heating the house here in the north land is the biggest expense but electrical usage increases also due to the long nights. It is especially hard on me to turn down the thermostat because I grew up in a tropical country where it is warm all year round. If there are ways to increase the energy efficiency of our home so that we don't have to turn the temperature down to the point that I am freezing I would certainly like to know more about them. I would really like to make our home more energy efficient and save a lot of money at the same time. The problem is I am not sure where to start but have now found a website that can help.
At Microsoft Hohm, you can learn how to reduce your home energy usage and start saving right away. You can sign up for a free account and they will provide you with a home energy report and energy-saving recommendations tailored for your home. At their website, I found energy saving tips about ways to conserve as well as how to start cutting costs.
I have learned about a few easy tips to save energy that we have started practicing already. For example, always turn off the lights when nobody is in the room and unplug home appliances because some of them use electricity even when they are not in use. We have also replaced most of our incandescent light bulbs with higher efficiency bulbs known as fluorescent.
There are many Energy saving tips that I learned from Microsoft Hohm site that I was not aware of before. You can visit their site to check them out yourself.
