According to a recent study by the U.S. Department of Energy, a typical single-family home spends about $2,200 each year on home energy expenses. Houses equipped with central cooling often see that as the main culprit of energy consumption totaling about $1000 per year of usage of the total $2,200.
So how to reduce your usage? Let's see if we can't bring the national average down a hair. Insulation and sealing is one of the most effective ways to cut your bill down, you can even get cost-effective and energy-saving windows put in!
Energy efficient siding is also a worthwhile investment, which will contribute to the home's insulation ability. Higher insulation levels can save you around 20 percent on your electricity bill, a percentage that can certainly be of value over the course of a year.
