Ensuring year-round energy efficiency in your home is not only beneficial for your wallet but also for the environment. With rising energy costs and growing concerns about climate change, it’s more important than ever to make your home as energy-efficient as possible. Our team can help you achieve this goal by providing valuable insights and professional assistance. Here are some essential tips for maximizing energy efficiency in your home:

Schedule Routine Inspections

Routine inspections performed by your Gold Seal Services’ Home Service Technician can help identify areas where energy is being wasted and recommend solutions to improve efficiency. From assessing insulation levels to checking for air leaks, our experts can pinpoint opportunities for energy savings and ensure your home is properly sealed and insulated.

Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Appliances and Lighting Fixtures

Old appliances can be energy vampires, consuming more electricity than necessary. Our team can help you select and install energy-efficient appliances that meet your needs and reduce your energy consumption. From bigger switches like ENERGY STAR-rated refrigerators and high-efficiency HVAC systems to smaller upgrades like swapping out light bulbs from incandescent to LEDs and installing a ceiling fan to circulate air and reduce AC/heat usage, upgrading your appliances can lead to significant savings on your utility bills.

Seal and Insulate

Proper sealing and insulation are essential for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment and reducing energy waste. Our team can identify areas where air leakage is occurring using a thermal imaging gun (learn more about that here), such as around windows, doors, and ductwork, and provide solutions to seal and insulate these areas effectively.

Invest in Smart Thermostats

Smart thermostats allow you to control your home’s heating and cooling systems remotely and adjust temperature settings based on your schedule and preferences. Let us help you install and program smart thermostats to optimize energy usage and save money on heating and cooling costs.

Consider Renewable Energy Sources

Investing in renewable energy sources such as solar panels or geothermal heating can further reduce your home’s carbon footprint and energy expenses. Our experts can assess your home’s suitability for renewable energy systems and provide guidance on installation and maintenance.

Perform Regular HVAC Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your heating and cooling systems is essential for maximizing energy efficiency and prolonging their lifespan. For many of our clients, we perform regular tune-ups and inspections to ensure your HVAC systems are operating at peak efficiency and identify any potential issues before they escalate.
