solar panels. A solar roof requires an initial investment, but in the long term, you could produce enough electric- ity to power everything in your home — saving you hundreds of dollars per year while potentially increasing your home’s value, too! For more informa- tion, visit gafenergy.com.
TANKLESS WATER HEATER
Tankless water heaters are an energy- efficient way to provide hot water in your home — and a big trend in real estate this year. These water heaters can be powered by gas or electric and can save you up to 70% on your heating bills. And because they’re so compact, you can
install it anywhere without sacrificing storage space. Plus, they can last up to 20 years, which is much longer than traditional water heaters.
SMART HOME APPLIANCES
When it’s time to shop for new applianc- es, remember to look for the Energy Star label, just like with en- ergy-efficient windows. Energy Star certified appliances are marked with a special sticker that details their efficiency statistics and estimated yearly operating costs and
energy consumption.
It’s also important to be mindful
about choosing the right sized appli- ances for your needs. Bigger appli-
ances can often mean more energy use and higher bills.
SKYLIGHTS
Artificial lighting is one of the biggest energy-users in your
home. For rooms that get limited natural light, consider installing a skylight. This will draw in sunlight so you can use less electricity. When choosing your skylight, make sure to look for the
Energy Star certification.
Consider these eco-friendly up-
grades to boost your energy savings and help the planet at the same time.
