Breaking Bad Habits: Energy Efficiency
Did you know that simple habits can lead to significant energy waste? Leaving lights on in unoccupied rooms, setting the thermostat too high or low, or ignoring drafts from windows and doors can skyrocket your energy bills.
This year, make a conscious effort to be more energy efficient. Switch to LED bulbs, invest in smart thermostats, and seal any air leaks. Not only will this reduce your carbon footprint, but it will also reflect positively on your energy bills!
The Importance of Regular Maintenance
Your home’s HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems need regular check-ups, just like your car. Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the line.
Schedule regular inspections with Best Home Services to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Maintenance includes:
- Cleaning air filters
- Checking for leaks
- Ensuring that all electrical connections are safe and secure
Safety First: Electrical and Plumbing Practices
Unsafe electrical and plumbing practices are not just bad habits; they’re hazards.
Issues that can lead to dangerous situations include:
- Overloading power strips
- Using frayed cords
- Ignoring a leaky faucet
- Flushing non-degradable items down the toilet
This year, vow to be more mindful about how you use and maintain these critical systems in your home. If you’re unsure about something, it’s always best to consult a professional.
Embracing Technology for a Smarter Home
Technology can be a great ally in maintaining your home. Smart home devices can help you monitor energy usage, detect leaks, and even alert you to electrical issues. These devices not only make your life easier but also help in keeping your home systems in top condition.
Our favorite pick is swapping your thermostat out for a smart one! These devices allow you to control your thermostat from anywhere in the world… or your bed, where you’ll likely use it the most! No more getting hot at night and waking up to a bigger energy bill, set schedules and save money in 2024!
