I'm sure you all have heard about the importance of saving energy - because it saves money and because it's good for the planet. But beyond just knowing to turn off lights when you leave the room, it can be hard to know what other steps you can take.
There's a company offering families a home energy audit in New Jersey, although home energy audits are generally available all of the United States. A home energy audit is a way to bring professionals into your home who will look at your home's existing structure and identify ways to improve its efficiency, whether that's adding new insulation, installing low-flow faucets, or a whole host of other improvements. Cost is obviously always a concern, so home repair grants may be available to provide you with assistance with home repairs.
In general, having a home energy audit done is supposed to save you money in the long run. By making energy efficiency improvements, you'll lower your utility bills (gas, electricity, and water), which will help your budget - and also help your household consume less resources overall.
If you aren't in New Jersey and can't get serviced by the company referenced above, contact your local power company or see if your county or state offer home energy audits - many do, or can at least point you in the right direction for someone else who can.
