How To Save Even More With Your Renewable Energy Provider

Already Partnered With A Renewable Energy Provider? Reduce Your Carbon Footprint Further With These Tips

If you want to keep your energy costs as low as possible, perhaps you’ve already signed up with Star Energy Partners to get renewable energy for your home. That’s a great start to becoming green! However, there are numerous ways you can reduce your carbon footprint even further and take your energy costs down as well. Some of them are techniques that don’t even take much installation or construction to utilize. Here are a few ideas to help you get started.

1. Install A Rainwater Harvesting System

Whenever it rains, the water that falls on the ground can be wasted. Getting a rain collector system is simple and can connect to your cutters or other networks to store rainwater in a barrel for non-potable uses. You could flush the toilets with it, water plants, or irrigate. The systems are inexpensive and can save you money on your water bills.

2. Replace HVAC With Energy Star Systems

When the time comes to replace your HVAC system with something new, you will want to get something that is Energy Star Certified. Your energy costs will go down and you will use less energy than ever before with an efficient model that can heat and cool your home.

3. Insulate The Attic Or Other Areas

You lose quite a bit of energy if you don’t have enough insulation. Add some insulation in the attic and you’ll have a great return on your investment in energy savings. It can cost a bit to get it done, but you’ll get your money back over the years you spend in your home.

4. Grab An Energy Monitor

Decrease your energy consumption by simply being aware of what you use. Household energy monitors are easy to use and inexpensive to install. You can see a minute-by-minute presentation of the energy you are using. You can use energy less by taking a look at the device and keeping track.

5. Utilize Smart Power Strips

Get a simple and elegant solution to a major energy problem when you get smart power strips. There are tons of energy vampires in your house that suck things down and use energy you don’t need. Instead of letting things like TVs and other appliances drain energy for no reason, you can turn the power strip off and stop them before they start sucking.
