Based on how you live your life
We understand that there are many ways to run the utility systems in your home. Most people make tradeoffs between convenience and energy use; some prefer to run half-full loads in dishwashers, others prefer to keep incandescent light bulbs. This tool considers your personal lifestyle choices; it will tell you what each option is worth and you make the call! But remember to tell it what things you are not prepared to do so that it can properly compute what things will deliver you the most.
How it works
This tool analyzes your home’s utility system and your family’s lifestyle, and evaluates utility savings steps you can take – whether it’s changing your temperature settings, or how you use equipment, or changing to more efficient equipment, even installing solar panels. Then it figures out what specific things will give you the most bang whether you outlay some bucks or not – it’s as easy as that! If utility prices rise as sharply as they have in the last few years, you’ll be amazed how much money is on the table!
What are the benefits?
As with everything in life, a little thinking goes a long way – and is usually worth thousands of dollars. Your home’s utility system is complicated; it requires a technical understanding, a full view of all your options, insights into utility pricing, and powerful computer optimization, and many, many other factors. Thus, there are good reasons to make a thoughtful plan before making upgrades to your home.
