Have you been spending extra time updating your home recently? Now more than ever, it's important to increase home efficiency to create a safe living environment, and save energy and money.
If you are experiencing common home efficiency issues like drafty rooms or old/inefficient heating and cooling, you can learn more about money-saving upgrades through BayREN, the Bay Area Regional Energy Network.
Another common issue in the home is inefficient water use. However, if you purchase a new clothes washer with an Energy Star rating, you can save up to 9,000 gallons of water and up to $200 in energy costs each year, compared to older machines! For more water savings, check out the Water Upgrades $ave program from BayREN.
If you are not able to make a purchase at the moment, check out these water and money saving Actions!
Sustainable Contra Costa works with BayREN to provide workshops on energy efficiency updates you can make in your home. Although some updates include changes of appliances or infrastructure in your home, you can access hundreds (or even thousands!) of dollars of rebates through BayREN. Stay tuned for our next energy efficiency workshop with BayREN with our Calendar of Events.
