Repetition is good so things sink in. But you\u2019ll also want to find more ways to save energy too so you increase your savings even further.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these tips you likely won\u2019t have heard before. Check out these interesting, and unique, ways you can save more energy this year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid using the ventilation fans you have in your kitchen, bathroom, and anywhere else, as much as possible. They remove conditioned or heated air from your home.<\/li>\n<li>Your ceiling or attic should be insulated to an R-value of at least 49. Have you heard of \u201cStack Effect?\u201d It\u2019s where the air in your home rises up and out of your home because of a natural vacuum your HVAC system creates. That\u2019s what this insulation reduces.<\/li>\n<li>As long as we\u2019re on the topic of insulation, make sure you insulate your ductwork in unheated or uncooled areas of your home.<\/li>\n<li>One last thing on insulation: consider having a contractor check yours. It seals your home\u2019s air envelope so conditioned air doesn\u2019t seep out.<\/li>\n<li>Pay special attention to your attic door. It\u2019s the most overlooked natural escape for air. Make sure it\u2019s insulated well to prevent as much air from escaping as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Ready for a seemingly insignificant thing? Turn your oven off 7 minutes before you finish cooking. The trapped heat that remains inside will actually be enough to cook your food.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of your oven, don\u2019t use it to broil food unless you absolutely have to. Only preheat when you need to. And cook small meals in your microwave instead of your oven to get the most efficient energy use out of yours.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your refrigerator and freezer out of the sunlight so they don\u2019t get warmed.<\/li>\n<li>Showers are obviously more efficient than baths. However, you may not know that this efficiency ends once you\u2019ve taken a shower for around 10 minutes. At that point, you\u2019ve likely used more water than you would in a bath.<\/li>\n<li>With your shower, place a water-flow device at the showerhead to win greater efficiency and energy savings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may or may not have heard these tips. Regardless, they help you save money and increase your efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe we should add an eleventh way to save energy.
