When you’re spending so much time indoors you may as well invest in making your stay a little more comfortable and cost-effective. With utility rates skyrocketing, it’s important now more than ever to invest in making your home energy efficient so that you can save the most, and make the most out of the space you’re living in. SolarTech is committed to helping and we’ve compiled a short list of tips to help you make your home more energy-efficient!

This might seem like an obvious suggestion coming from the folks who have been powering California for over 20 years, and you’d be right! Going solar is an obvious suggestion to help make your home energy efficient. The first of our energy efficiency tips for your home is to power it with solar. Not only will you be able to utilize clean energy, but you’re also able to combat high utility rates.

If the energy you are producing from solar offsets the energy consumption in your home, then not only can you greatly reduce your electric bill, but you could also virtually cut your bill altogether. Not only that, but with programs like Net Metering, you can even earn credits on your utility bills for all of the excess energy that you’re producing and sending back to the grid! Adding solar panels to your home can significantly help in making your home more energy-efficient. Learn More!

Upgrading your roof is another great step toward making your home energy efficient. Older roofs are typically built using outdated materials and roofing technology meaning they are less energy efficient than the roofing options that are available today. Less efficient roofs can put a significant strain on your heating and cooling systems meaning they’ll be working overtime to keep your home comfortable. Gradually, your roof will also succumb to age and begin to break down, resulting in temperature irregularity within your home. It’s never too late to upgrade your roof and doing so can make a major impact on your home’s energy efficiency.

Adding batteries to the equation is a game changer! Any excess energy you gain from solar can be saved for later with an energy storage system. With batteries, you can contest on-peak energy demand and rely on your battery to power your home rather than your utility company. Doing so keeps you from spending more money than you need to power your home. Receive a FREE Energy Storage Quote Today!
