Green Tips

Do you need a few simple tips to make your home a little greener, healthier, and add value to your investment? The list below has some of the most popular ways to make an immediate impact.

• Replace home thermostats with programmable ones and program the system to work for you while you are at home or away. Adjusting the temperature just a couple of degrees while you are not home and a sleep can save you hundreds of dollars on your utility bill.
• Set your water heater to 120 degrees, a water heater blanket and insulate your hot water pipes. You won’t notice the difference in comfort but you will see it on your next bill.
• Change those light bulbs to CFL’s. Check out the best video on CFL’s.
• Recycle. Recycle. Recycle.
• Make the conscious choice to buy Energy Star labeled products. They save you money and are better for the earth.
• Add a rain barrel or two and use this free water to wash your cars and water the plants.
