\"\"Yep. We\u2019re back.<\/p>\n

And this time with more things you may not know about electricity savings.<\/p>\n

\u2026And what you don\u2019t know, at least in this case anyway, can hurt you.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s what to look for this time:<\/p>\n

1. Save More Energy By Keeping Your Thermostat Isolated<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every electronic device gives off some heat. Windows can leak air.<\/p>\n

This air artificially raises the temperature around your thermostat. And since it senses the temperature in its immediate surroundings, rather than taking an average from around your entire home, it heats or cools the rest of your home based on that temperature.<\/p>\n

So, you want to keep your thermostat isolated from other heating or cooling sources so it gets the most accurate reading of what the entire temperature is around your home.<\/p>\n

2. Energy-Efficient Products Make a Huge Difference in Your Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Kingdom actually uses less energy despite a growing economy<\/a>. In 2014, they used less energy than they did in 2008.<\/p>\n

And their households use 10% less electricity each even though they use the same large TVs, computers, smartphones, and tablets than we do.<\/p>\n

The European Union has tighter standards on household appliances than the United States.<\/p>\n

They even do things like banning the most energy inefficient vacuum cleaners from being sold.<\/p>\n

Of course using more energy-efficient products doesn\u2019t make up the entirety of their lower energy use. But, it does make a difference.<\/p>\n

3. Pipe and Wall Insulation<\/strong><\/p>\n

You probably think about insulation in the obvious areas \u2013 like your attic. But you don\u2019t think about it with your pipes.<\/p>\n

Here in Texas, you may need between R30 to R60 insulation in your home, depending on your location.<\/p>\n

If you have the old fiberglass batts insulation, you may also need newer spray foam insulation. Fiberglass batts have little air pockets that allow cool or warm air to seep through. Spray foam expands after application to seal even those small pockets off \u2013 reducing air seepage to practically nothing, and giving you even better energy savings.<\/p>\n

You can actually see Energy Star\u2019s recommended R-values here<\/a>. Insulation also generally pays back for itself in just a few years too, so it\u2019s a decent investment.<\/p>\n

So\u2026did any of those hit home with you?<\/p>\n

Which sound like good ways you could save a nice chunk of energy and money each month?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
