7 Questions to Ask About Your Home's Energy Loss
To help you formulate a plan, ask yourself these 7 questions on how much your home is losing energy:
- How much money do you spend on energy?
- Where are your greatest energy losses?
- How long will it take for an investment in energy efficiency to pay for itself?
- Do the energy saving measures provide additional benefits that are important to you (for example, increased comfort from a warm home in the winter)?
- How long do you plan to own your home?
- Can you do the job yourself or will you need to hire a contractor?
- What is your budget and how much time do you have to spend on maintenance and repairs?
Next step is to assign priorities to your energy needs so you can form an efficiency plan.
Your plan should provide you with a strategy for making smart home improvements. These home improvements will increase your home’s energy efficiency to save you the most money.
