Windows & Doors
✓
Check for Air Leaks
High Impact
Inspect around windows and doors for drafts. Hold a lit candle or incense stick near edges on a windy day to detect air leaks.
Potential annual savings: $100-300
✓
Assess Window Condition
Medium Impact
Check for single-pane windows, damaged seals in double-pane units, or condensation between glass panes.
New windows can save: $200-600 annually
Insulation & Air Sealing
✓
Attic Insulation Check
High Impact
Measure attic insulation depth. Should be 10-14 inches for most climates. Look for gaps, compression, or moisture damage.
Proper attic insulation saves: $300-800 annually
✓
Basement/Crawl Space Insulation
Medium Impact
Check foundation walls and rim joists for insulation. Look for exposed concrete or uninsulated areas.
Foundation insulation saves: $150-400 annually
HVAC System
✓
System Age & Efficiency
High Impact
Check your HVAC system age and SEER rating. Systems over 15 years old may be significantly less efficient.
New efficient system saves: $400-1200 annually
✓
Ductwork Inspection
Medium Impact
Look for disconnected, damaged, or uninsulated ducts in unconditioned spaces like basements or crawl spaces.
Duct sealing saves: $200-500 annually
Water Heating
✓
Water Heater Efficiency
Medium Impact
Check age, insulation, and temperature setting. Water heaters over 10 years old may be inefficient.
Efficient water heater saves: $100-300 annually
Lighting & Electrical
✓
LED Lighting Conversion
Easy Win
Count how many incandescent or CFL bulbs you still have. LEDs use 75% less energy and last much longer.
Full LED conversion saves: $50-150 annually
✓
Smart Power Strips & Phantom Loads
Medium Impact
Electronics consume power even when "off." TVs, computers, game consoles, and chargers draw phantom power 24/7.
Eliminating phantom loads saves: $75-200 annually
Major Appliances
✓
Refrigerator & Freezer Efficiency
Medium Impact
Check age, seals, and temperature settings. Fridges over 15 years old use 2x more energy than new models.
New efficient refrigerator saves: $100-250 annually
✓
Washer & Dryer Assessment
Medium Impact
Older washers and dryers are major energy users. Front-loading washers and heat pump dryers are most efficient.
Efficient washer/dryer saves: $150-400 annually
Energy Habits & Lifestyle
✓
Thermostat Management
High Impact
Review your temperature settings and daily habits. Each degree of adjustment can save 6-8% on heating/cooling costs.
Smart thermostat habits save: $150-300 annually
✓
Daily Energy Habits
Easy Wins
Small daily habits add up. Running full dishwasher loads, air-drying clothes, turning off lights, and unplugging chargers.
Good energy habits save: $100-250 annually
✓
Hot Water Usage Patterns
Medium Impact
Evaluate shower length, load sizes for dishwasher/washing machine, and water temperature settings for laundry.
Hot water conservation saves: $75-200 annually
Comfort & Air Flow
✓
Ceiling Fans & Ventilation
Easy Win
Ceiling fans can make rooms feel 3-4°F cooler, allowing higher thermostat settings. Check direction seasonally.
Strategic fan use saves: $50-150 annually
✓
Window Treatments & Solar Gain
Medium Impact
Proper window coverings can block summer heat and retain winter warmth. Consider solar heat gain management.
Window treatments save: $75-200 annually
