Beat The Heat And The High Energy Bills
(NAPSI)—Did you know that the aver-age household spends $2,000 a year on util-ity bills, with nearly half going to cooling and heating the home? The U.S. EPA’s EN-ERGY STAR Program offers resources to help you save ener-gy, save money and
protect the climate—all while beating the heat this summer. Biggest bang for your buck—seal and insulate: You could save up to $200 a year! Sealing air leaks around your house and adding insulation can help make your home
more comfortable and energy efficient. Level up your en-ergy savings with your HVAC: Check your system’s air fil-ters. A dirty air filter will make the sys-tem work harder to keep you cool, wast-
ing energy. They should be inspected once a month during heavy-use periods. Get smart about the thermostat that is con-trolling your HVAC: A smart thermostat is Wi-Fi enabled and can automatically
adjust temperature settings for optimal performance. Smart
thermostats that earn the ENERGY STAR label are inde-
pendently certified,High Energy Bills
