Invest in LEDs, energy efficiency measures and electrification

Suggested Practices and Examples for Implementation:

Complete an energy audit.
- Find an energy audit template online or bring in an outside expert to conduct the audit for you.
Begin making changes based on the audit results, such as:
- Replacing incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs, which are 80% more efficient
- Replacing old and inefficient appliances with ENERGY STAR products
- Installing “smart” programmable thermostats
- Insulating water heaters
- Ensuring attics are well-insulated
- Upgrade to an ENERGY STAR air conditioning system
- Replace old, drafty windows with energy-saving options
Replace gas appliances with electric options
- Moving away from fossil fuel reliance is a vital step toward truly addressing energy issues.
Make contact with a local solar company and have your building/property inspected for solar viability.
- Is solar a good option? Solar leasing? What do they think?
Advocate for a “greener grid.” A green grid is when electrification efforts will really pay off!
