Robin Ford Building can help make your custom home more energy efficient.
Nowadays, people are seeking ways to make more environmentally friendly choices. Whether you want to save money on your utility bill or reduce your carbon footprint, Robin Ford Building can help make your custom home more energy efficient. This article shares energy-efficient tips you can apply to your home to save a few dollars and help the environment.
Ensure Your Home Has Insulation
Heating bills can be expensive on your wallet, especially if you live in an area with frigid winters. Make your heating system easier by adding insulation to your custom home to maintain the heat. Additionally, ensure your home has insulation in every room, including the basement, crawl space, and attic. Overall, insulating your attic is a valuable investment in your home’s efficiency in the long run.
Consider Adding LED Lighting
LED lightbulbs are one of the most successful ways to light your home sustainably because they use less energy and last longer. In addition, an LED bulb will last 25x longer while still using 75% less energy than a regular bulb. Think of how much you would save on your monthly electric bill if you installed every bulb in your custom home with an LED one!
Install a Smart Thermostat
Did you know there are programmable thermostats that you can change from your phone? Gone are the days when you manually adjusted your thermostat whenever you were hot or cold. Programmable thermostats are excellent tools for making your custom home more energy-efficient. They also enable you to adjust your heating and air conditioning when your home is empty.
Promote Air Circulation with Ceiling Fans
Air circulation is imperative to keeping your home warm or cool, and a ceiling fan will help to circulate your heating and AC throughout the house more effectively. It may seem counterintuitive, but an additional fan can help your custom home stay warmer on those freezing winter days.
