#1 Tip - Energy Audits

We are huge fans of having an Energy Efficiency Evaluation (i.e. energy audit) conducted on any home, regardless of size or age. We learned much from our energy audit under the ecoENERGY Residential Retrofit program.

Our 21 year old home's EnerGuide rating is 70 (out of 100) from our energy audit report. We can achieve an EnerGide rating of 80 by undertaking all of the energy audit's recommendations. What is your home's EnerGuide rating? If you don't know, shouldn't you?

You can find details of the energy audit report we received on our home within our ECOENERGY page.

EZ SNAP EXTERIOR
WINDOW (SOLAR) SHADES

As we wrote in this article this screen-like energy conservation device reduced the sun's UV rays entering our home so much that it caused our digital thermometer's temperature reading to actually

decrease by 15 degrees F

and keep it much cooler inside.
