Energy-Efficient Fixtures for Your Home

Whether it be for financial reasons or just to reduce your personal carbon footprint, there are plenty of fixtures out there that can help make your home an Eco-friendly one.

Make the upgrades today or pin it for later! Either way, turn to these few great ones below:

Energy-Efficient Lighting Fixtures: Unscrewing an old-fashioned light bulb can take just seconds and make a huge difference in energy required. Replace them with compact fluorescent or light-emitting diode light bulbs instead.

Insulated Windows & Doors: If cool air or heat is constantly escaping your home, you're certainly paying for more than truly required. Upgrade to windows and doors approved by the Energy Star program as a way to significantly reduce air leakage and energy loss.

Low-Flow Toilets: You don't need to sacrifice color and style for a toilet that conserves water. Manufactures are making low-flow models in the same decorative elements you loved before.

New Air Conditioners and Furnaces: An outdated or overworked HVAC system is likely cranking up your energy bill. Have a technician replace it with a new one that abides by the federal government regulations put in place to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels.

Replace Bathroom Showerheads: Upgrading your showerhead to water-efficient technology, like the ones with a WaterSense label, can decrease your water use greatly. Especially since a great deal of our overall water use comes from shower time, this is a simple way to see big savings.
