If only we had more of it.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it that you really only have about 16 hours of waking energy in you during the day, but really only 8-9 of that can be spent on focused work?<\/p>\n<p>When you think about that, and everything that you have to deal with in life, it seems like so little.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t worry, we have you covered once again with the most important areas to focus on for energy savings wins!<\/p>\n<p>Some you can hire out. Some you can do yourself. And when you implement them, you\u2019re sure to experience massive energy savings wins.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what we have for you:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Insulate, Insulare, Insulate! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keeping the warm or cool air that your HVAC system conditions in your home is the largest battle to focus on.<\/p>\n<p>What good does that air do you if a large portion of it simply seeps outside?<\/p>\n<p>The squirrels and birds might like it. But you\u2019ll be out of luck.<\/p>\n<p>So start with the insulation levels in your attic.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, this is one that you\u2019re probably best to hire out. It\u2019s complicated to understand the right type and amount of insulation to add.<\/p>\n<p>For example, depending on where you are in Texas, you\u2019ll need insulation with a certain \u201cR-value.\u201d R-value measures how well a certain type of insulation keeps air from escaping.<\/p>\n<p>The higher the R-value, the more air it prevents from escaping (but the higher the cost).<\/p>\n<p>And, because of the naturally hotter climate here in Texas, you don\u2019t necessarily need the highest R-value insulation.<\/p>\n<p>That R-value can also vary based on the type of insulation.<\/p>\n<p>For now, just understand that you need to correctly insulate your home for the best energy savings.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an ambitious project if you want to DIY. And it carries a medium cost if you choose to hire a contractor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-717\" src=\"https:\/\/powermepronto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/powermepronto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/powermepronto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/powermepronto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03-768x392.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Maintain Your Appliances<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This you can do yourself. To start, understand that appliances (the fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer) do use their fair share of energy.<\/p>\n<p>You can keep your fridge at 40 degrees and your freezer at zero. Your food will stay cool. And you\u2019ll save money on energy too.<\/p>\n<p>Fill your fridge, but don\u2019t jam it to the brim with food. It needs that space to circulate cool air.<\/p>\n<p>For your dishwasher, rinse your dishes before putting them in. And only run full loads.<\/p>\n<p>With your washer and dryer, again only use full loads. And you only need cold (not the more costly hot) water to get your clothes clean.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a second fridge that\u2019s really old down in your basement or in your garage, replace it with a new one.<\/p>\n<p>Fridges 20 years old (or so) burn through a lot of energy. And it\u2019s worth your money to replace them.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re going to spend a lot of time on energy savings, those are 2 great places to start!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time.
