Green Home Energy

Between Global Warming, dwindling resources, and the need to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, many people want to “Go Green”. The question is: how, and this is where the Green Home Energy Cashmap package can help you.

 By figuring out where you use the most energy and what steps you can take to cut your energy consumption, you can reduce your energy costs by anywhere from ten to fifty percent. Not only does this mean you have less utility costs, but you also end up with a more eco-friendly home. You reduce your “Carbon Footprint”, and thus help in protecting the environment.

Another plus to implementing eco-friendly steps to your home is that you increase its value. So, someday, if you sell your house, you can get a better price for it.

The Cashmap package helps you in performing an indoor and outdoor energy audit on your home. These audits will find where you have leaks, where energy is slipping away, and thus boosting your energy bill. It also helps you to review the status of your heating and/or air conditioning system, and the insulation in your attic. Once you have that audit in hand, you can look to methods for being more energy efficient: heating and cooling your home, and providing lighting in the best fashion possible. If you live in an area prone to heat waves, these can be a major energy drain on your home; the Cashmap package helps you in being more energy efficient in the face of a heat wave.

Then there are other steps to take for energy efficiency: insulating your home properly, insulating doors and windows, using efficient lighting, and using the most energy efficient appliances. The latter makes up twenty percent of your electric bill; by switching to more energy efficient appliances, you can further save.

You can also put in landscaping that will help to reduce your heating and cooling costs, and also look into alternative energy. This Cashmap can show you how to implement renewable energy sources to further reduce your need for power from a utility company.
