Turn an Energy Hog of a Home into an Energy-Efficient Haven with New Project Info From HGTVPro.com
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Buildings account for forty percent of the energy used in the U.S. and a
large part of that comes from homes - specifically houses more than 25
years old. HGTVPro.com's new packages, "Energy
Answers" and "Energy
Efficient Windows," provide users with handy, energy-saving ideas,
how-to's and tips to lower monthly utility bills.
HGTVPro.com's Energy Efficient Windows package helps users:
- find the
perfect window - a how-to on reading energy-efficient labels to find
the right fit;
- learn window
FAQs - know the differences between each type of window;
- get smarter
with solar - are heat sensor systems and solar the newest trends in
energy efficiency?
Many homeowners aren't aware that if their home produces more energy
than it uses, they could receive a credit on utility bills. HGTVPro's
"Energy Answers" package follows Athens, Ohio homeowner Jeff
Wilson as he performs a deep-energy retrofit on his 70-year-old Cape
Cod house with the goal of upgrading his outdated home to
energy-efficient standards and lowering his utility bills by fifty to
ninety percent. Users can join Jeff's journey as he takes them
step-by-step through every phase of the process in the online series.
Not sure how to start making the change? Insulation
and energy-efficient
windows are a great place to start but saving on the utility bills
can be as easy as:
- using an energy
audit or survey to find problem areas in the home;
- know options for lighting
the home;
- systematically collecting
rainwater for home use;
- and installing a water-saving
toilet.
