You\u2019ll find a wide range of products to help decrease your home\u2019s energy consumption. Check out these four tips to make your home more energy efficient this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Go Solar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Harnessing the power of the sun is an easy way to incorporate energy efficiency into your home this year. Rooftop solar panels are becoming more popular and less expensive. Tax incentives can drastically reduce the cost of these systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other solar powered options include outdoor lighting. You can choose a variety of lighting options that won\u2019t consume any electricity. Solar powered flood lights, pathway lights, garden and porch lights are just a few of the many options available. Many of these lights are also motion censored, making them even more energy efficient. Consider installing a few of these around the outside of your home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Auto-Renew Filters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The heating and cooling systems of your home are the primary source of energy consumption. Replacing older furnaces with newer energy efficient models is an excellent way to instantly cut down on energy costs. Can\u2019t afford the newer options? Consider ordering your furnace filters online with an auto-renewal option. You\u2019ll receive a new filter every few months making it easy to change. Doing so can help reduce energy costs as the heating and cooling systems won\u2019t have to work as hard to force air through a clogged filter. Having the filters sent directly to your home also makes it more likely that you\u2019ll replace them more often.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Plant Trees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you live in the city of trees or an area with plenty of shade you may already be living more efficiently than you think. If not so much, an excellent way to add prolonged energy savings to your home is to plant shade trees in the yard. Not only do trees cut down on the amount of heat that hits your home, but they can also raise your home\u2019s overall value. Trees help the environment by providing more air filtering qualities to the neighborhood. They also provide homes for pollinators and area wildlife. An Auburn University study concluded that your home\u2019s energy costs will be reduced up to 11% by just having a mere 17% of your home shaded by a tree. Planting a few shade trees around your house today is a great investment that will make your home energy efficient for years to come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Install A Tankless Water Heater<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many homeowners are choosing to ditch the large water heaters that can take up a good chunk of energy by continuously heating many gallons of water. A Tankless water heater only heats up the water that you immediately use. These smaller water heating systems cut down on the amount of space needed for heating water and cut down on the wasted energy of heating water that will need to be reheated later. Both gas and electric powered tankless heaters are available in these on-demand applications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Any of these four tips will save you money and make your home more energy efficient in the new year. Upgrading to a tankless water heater and solar powered lights may cost you up front, but think of the savings you\u2019ll see in 2019 and for years to come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.coldwellbanker.com\/4-tips-to-making-your-home-more-energy-efficient-in-2019\/\">4 Tips to Making Your Home More Energy Efficient in 2019<\/a> by Sam Shalom | Coldwell Banker Blue Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out these four tips to make your home more energy efficient this year.
