Save Money With This Eco-Friendly Home Tip

Did you know that making sure your home is energy efficient can benefit the environment, in addition to your wallet? In this educational video, Maynard Okereke explains the connection between heating and cooling your home, and fighting climate change. Home HVAC systems typically account for half of your home’s energy usage, and they run on electricity, which contributes to fossil fuel emissions. When you have a draft where air is entering or escaping your home, the effectiveness of your home heating or cooling system is limited. Typical locations for these drafts include plumbing vents, windows, and doors. You can plug these drafts using sealant or weather stripping. This will save you on energy costs, and make your home more eco-friendly!
