Three Green Home Tips

Seal Air Leaks, Sealing up air gaps around windows, door frames, and other areas throughout your home can reduce energy bills by thirty percent. Add door sweeps to all doors and secure locks to keep closed. A good trick is, If you shut a door or window on a dollar bill and you can pull the bill out without resistance, conditioned air can escape and outside air can get in. Bottom line: You're paying for more energy than you need to. Use LED Light Bulbs, Energy efficient light bulbs last longer, they use less wasted energy and don’t contain less harmful chemicals. If you can afford to replace all of your old bulbs at once, you should do so, or you can simply replace those old ones each time one goes out. Low Flow, Installing low flow shower heads, toilets, and faucets. Turning off the faucet when washing dishes or brushing teeth can make a huge effect over just one year.
