You have a nearly limitless number of projects you can do around your home to improve your energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

Many are easy that you can do yourself. Others require great skill and either a lot of time, or the willingness to hire a contractor.<\/p>\n

You can do small things like turning down the brightness on your smartphone. But, did you know that\u2019s only going to save you one lousy dollar over the course of a year?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to do if you need to save your smartphone\u2019s battery. However, you really don\u2019t gain much financially.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re going the DIY route, and want the best savings for your time, here\u2019s where to focus:<\/p>\n

1. Space Heating<\/strong><\/p>\n

This chart from the US Energy Information Administration<\/a> reveals how Americans use energy:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty clear \u201cspace heating,\u201d \u201cwater heating,\u201d and \u201cappliances and electronics\u201d use the largest amounts of electricity. Note that \u201cspace heating\u201d doesn\u2019t refer to heating your home only with a space heater. It means the cost of heating areas in your home.<\/p>\n

You can instantly reduce your heating costs with ease. Simply turn down your thermostat one degree to save around $86 per year. Get a smart thermostat, which pays for itself in just months to increase your savings without noticing any difference in your own comfort. Or, just put on another layer of clothes to keep yourself comfortable.<\/p>\n

2. Appliances and Electronics <\/strong><\/p>\n

Smart power strips make all the difference here. Much of the energy use from appliances and various electronics comes from vampire energy drain or sleep modes.<\/p>\n

Instead of turning off entirely, your appliances and devices actually remain on and consume power when not necessary. To remedy that, you can get smart power strips that turn power to your devices off for you when not in use.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry because these power strips also can come with outlets that aren\u2019t smart – they always remain on. So, simply plug your device or appliance into the outlet where it makes most sense for your needs.<\/p>\n

3. Water Heating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forget taking shorter showers! Put a blanket around your water heater to keep your water warm so it requires less heating before use. Those pay for themselves within a year.<\/p>\n

Install low-flow water fixtures which can cut your water use by 25-60%. Using less water means you have much less to heat, and lower heating costs as a result.<\/p>\n

Those are some of your biggest, easiest areas for reducing your energy costs as the weather cools down and turns to winter.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
