Which Mutual Fund is Best for Me ?
If you are looking to invest your money in Mutual Fund you should consider few things so more benefits can be taken and we can save us from loss .
1. Type of Mutual Fund : First of all we will se the type of mutual fund like equity type , debt type , mixture of both and project fund this explain the where the fund manager will invest the money it is very necessary because we should know that where our investment will go and what is the chances of return or loss .
2. Purpose of Fund : Most of the time the fund companies has certain purpose of the fund they show something else and use the money somewhere else so be sure that fund is clearly mention their purpose .
3. Criteria of Investment : We will see that how the fund is diversified the investment what is the portion of investment in equity or stock exchange because it is much risky side for investment and the portion of low rist investment that also called debt side of portion or many other portion of investment . this portion of investment show the how riskier is the fund is it more risky or less risky so we can predict our returns .
4. Our own Requirement : The most important one is we should focus what is our own requirement from the fund example looking for retirement or looking for eduction of the children , looking for some extra profits etc whatever is the requirement but this should be match with fund then we can get return as we want .
5. Fund Manager : we should see the management that who will run the fund , his experience , qualification , and most important how much is the management fees which they deduct from returns .
6. Past Performance : if you cannot see all things then past performance is the best option you can see which tells how they performed their fund in the past and what was their past profit returns .
Tips to Increase your Storage Space :
Many people face the problem of storage space in their house and they are frustrated by this but if we look some few options and ways we can get good storage space .
1. Shelves : usually we dont have enough space for cupboards in our house specially in apartments so we have solution that we can increase the shelves in kitchen or room if we have short room still we can take the help of shelves to keep our stuff if you think that will look bad in your room then matching color shelves could be the best .
2. Cabinet : cabinets are the most famous way to keep your stuff secure and save and mostly are used in kitchen because it increase the beautifulness of the kithen if your are facing the problem of storage they move to the cabinet in your house and in good color and style are available in cabinets even if we make the border of upper side of cabinet more space is available to keep stuff on roof of cabinet .
3. Furniture storage : we can select the furniture which is associated with some storage options like some bed , cupboards have extra storage options even in table or chair has this option so move to these good furniture it helps you lot .
4. Changing room setting :
most of the time the placment of furniture in the room is not correct therefore it cannot create more spaces for extra cupboards and cabinets so change the setting for your room to generate extra space not just that many time we focus to use big bed , big tables and extra furniture that is not being used in the house therefore we have less space for our stuff and even sitting capacity become the problem so just avoid those furniture which is not being used or whose utilization is not good .

How to Save Energy from Windows
Windows can be one of your home's most attractive features. Windows
provide views, day lighting, ventilation, and solar heating in the
winter.
Unfortunately, they can also account for 10% to 25% of your heating
bill. During the summer, sunny windows make your air conditioner work
two to three times harder. If you live in the Sun Belt, look into new
solar control spectrally selective windows, which can cut the cooling
load by more than half.
If your home has single-pane windows, as almost half of U.S. homes do,
consider replacing them. New double pane windows with high-performance
glass (e.g., low-e or spectrally selective) are available on the
market. In colder climates, select windows that are gas filled with
low emissivity (low-e) coatings on the glass to reduce heat loss. In
warmer climates, select windows with spectrally selective coatings to
reduce heat gain. If you are building a new home, you can offset some
of the cost of installing more efficient windows because doing so
allows you to buy smaller, less expensive heating and cooling equipment.
If you decide not to replace your windows, the simpler, less costly
measures listed below can improve their performance.
Cold-Climate Window Tips
• You can use a heavy-duty, clear plastic sheet on a frame or tape
clear plastic film to the inside of your window frames during the cold
winter months. Remember, the plastic must be sealed tightly to the
frame to help reduce infiltration.
• Install tight-fitting, insulating window shades on windows that
feel drafty after weatherizing.
• Close your curtains and shades at night; open them during the day.
• Keep windows on the south side of your house clean to let in the
winter sun.
• Install exterior or interior storm windows; storm windows can
reduce heat loss through the windows by 25% to 50%. Storm windows
should have weather-stripping at all moveable joints; be made of
strong, durable materials; and have interlocking or overlapping
joints. Low-e storm windows save even more energy.
• Repair and weatherize your current storm windows, if necessary.
Warm-Climate Window Tips
• Install white window shades, drapes, or blinds to reflect heat away
from the house.
• Close curtains on south- and west facing windows during the day.
• Install awnings on south- and west facing windows.
• Apply sun-control or other reflective films on south-facing windows
to
reduce solar gain.
Long-Term Savings Tip
• Installing new, high-performance windows will improve your home's
energy performance. While it may take many years for new windows to
pay off in energy savings, the benefits of added comfort and improved
aesthetics and functionality may make the investment worth it to you.
Today, many new window technologies are available that are worth
considering. Glazing materials (the glass part of the window) now come
with a variety of selective coatings and other features; frames are
available in aluminum, wood, vinyl, fiber glass, or combinations of
these materials. Each type of glazing material and frame has
advantages and disadvantages.
Water Heating
typically accounts for about 16% of your utility bill. There are four
ways to cut your water heating bills: use less hot water, turn down
the thermostat on your water heater, insulate your water heater, or
buy a new, more efficient water heater.
A family of four, each showering for 5 minutes a day, uses 700 gallons
of water a week; this is enough for a 3-year supply of drinking water
for one person. You can cut that amount in half simply by using low-
flow aerating showerheads and faucets.
Water Heating Tips
• Install aerating, low-flow faucets and showerheads.
• Repair leaky faucets promptly; a leaky faucet wastes gallons of
water in a short period of time.
• Lower the thermostat on your water heater; water heaters sometimes
come from the factory with high temperature settings, but a setting of
120°F provides comfortable hot water for most uses.
• Take more showers than baths. Bathing uses the most hot water in
the average household. You use 15–25 gallons of hot water for a bath,
but less than 10 gallons during a 5-minute shower.
• Insulate your electric hot-water storage tank, but be careful not
to cover the thermostat. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Insulate your natural gas or oil hotwater storage tank, but be
careful not to cover the water heater's top, bottom, thermostat, or
burner compartment. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations; when
in doubt, get professional help.
• Insulate the first 6 feet of the hot and cold water pipes connected
to the water heater.
• If you are in the market for a new dishwasher or clothes washer,
consider buying an efficient, water-saving model to reduce hot water
use.
• Install heat traps on the hot and cold pipes at the water heater to
prevent heat loss. Some new water heaters have built-in heat traps.
• Drain a quart of water from your water tank every 3 months to
remove sediment that impedes heat transfer and lowers the efficiency
of your heater. The type of water tank you have determines the steps
to take, so follow the manufacturer's advice.
• Although most water heaters last 10– 15 years, it's best to
start shopping for a new one if yours is more than 7 yearsold. Doing
some research before your heater fails will enable you to select one
that most appropriately meets your needs.
Long-Term Savings Tips
• Buy a new energy-efficient water heater. While it may cost more
initially than a standard water heater, the energy savings will
continue during the lifetime of the appliance. If your current water
heater is electric, consider switching to a natural gas water heater
if gas is available.
• Consider installing a drain water waste heat recovery system. A
recent DOE study showed energy savings of 25% to about 30% for water
heating using such a system.
• Consider demand or tankless water heaters. Researchers have found
savings can be as much as 34% compared with a standard electric
storage tank water heater.
If you heat water with electricity, have high electric rates, and have
an unshaded, south-facing location (such as a roof) on your property,
consider installing a solar water heater. The solar units are
environmentally friendly and can now be installed on your roof to
blend with the architecture of your house. More than 1.5 million homes
and businesses in the United States have invested in solar water
heating systems, and surveys indicate over 94% of these customers
consider
the systems a good investment. Solar water heating systems are also
good for the environment. Solar water heaters avoid the harmful
greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity production.
During a 20- year period, one solar water heater can avoid over 50
tons of carbon dioxide emissions. When shopping for a solar water
heater, look for systems certified by the Solar Rating and Certification
Corporation or the Florida Solar Energy Center.
Heating and Cooling
dollars than any other system in your home. Typically, 61% of your
utility bill goes for heating and cooling. What's more, heating and
cooling systems in the United States together emit over a half billion
tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, adding to global
warming. They also generate about 24% of the nation's sulfur dioxide
and 12% of the nitrogen oxides, the chief ingredients in acid rain.
No matter what kind of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning
system you have in your house, you can save money and increase your
comfort by properly maintaining and upgrading your equipment. But
remember, an energy-efficient furnace alone will not have as great an
impact on your energy bills as using the whole-house approach.
By combining proper equipment maintenance and upgrades with
appropriate insulation, air sealing, and thermostat settings, you can
cut your energy bills and your pollution output in half.
Heating and Cooling Tips
• Set your thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter and as
high as is comfortable in the summer.
• Clean or replace filters on furnaces once a month or as needed.
• Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as
needed; make sure they're not blocked by furniture, carpeting, or
drapes.
• Bleed trapped air from hot-water radiators once or twice a season;
if in doubt about how to perform this task, call a professional.
• Place heat-resistant radiator reflectors between exterior walls and
the radiators.
• Turn off kitchen, bath, and other exhaust fans within 20 minutes
after you are done cooking or bathing; when replacing exhaust fans,
consider installing high-efficiency, low-noise models.
• During the heating season, keep the draperies and shades on your
south facing windows open during the day to allow the sunlight to
enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel
from cold windows.
• During the cooling season, keep the window coverings closed during
the day to prevent solar gain.
Long-Term Savings Tips
• Select energy-efficient products when you buy new heating and
cooling equipment. Your contractor should be able to give you energy
fact sheets for different types, models, and designs to help you.
Ducts
One of the most important systems in your home, though it's hidden
beneath your feet and over your head, may be wasting a lot of your
energy dollars.
Your home's duct system, a branching network of tubes in the walls,
floors, and ceilings, carries the air from your home's furnace and
central air conditioner to each room. Ducts are made of sheet metal,
fiber glass, or other materials. Unfortunately, many duct systems
are poorly insulated or not insulated properly. Ducts that leak heated
air into unheated spaces can add hundreds of dollars a year to your
heating and cooling bills. Insulating ducts that are in unconditioned
spaces is usually very cost effective. If you are buying a new duct
system, consider one that comes with insulation already installed.
Sealing your ducts to prevent leaks is even more important if the ducts
are located in an unconditioned area such as an attic or vented crawl
space. If the supply ducts are leaking, heated or cooled air can be
forced out unsealed joints and lost. In addition, unconditioned air
can be drawn into return ducts through unsealed joints.
In the summer, hot attic air can be drawn in, increasing the load on
the air conditioner. In the winter, your furnace will have to work
longer to keep your house comfortable. Either way, your energy losses
cost you money. Minor duct repairs are easy to do, Here are a few
simple tips to help with minor duct repairs.
Duct Tips
• Check your ducts for air leaks. First, look for sections that should
be joined but have separated and then look for obvious holes.
• If you use tape to seal your ducts, avoid cloth-backed, rubber
adhesive duct tape, which tends to fail quickly. Researchers recommend
other products to seal ducts: mastic, butyl tape, foil tape, or other
heat approved tapes. Look for tape with the Underwriters Laboratories
logo.
• Remember that insulating ducts in the basement will make the
basement colder. If both the ducts and the basement walls are
uninsulated, consider insulating both.*
* Note: Water pipes and drains in unconditioned spaces could freeze
and burst in the space if the heat ducts are fully insulated, because
there would be no heat source to prevent the space from freezing in
cold weather. However, using an electric heating tape wrap on the
pipes can prevent this.
• If your basement has been converted to a living area, install both
supply and return registers in the basement rooms.
• Be sure a well-sealed vapor barrier exists on the outside of the
insulation on cooling ducts to prevent moisture buildup.
• For new construction, consider placing ducts in conditioned
space—space that is heated and cooled—instead of running ducts
through unconditioned areas like the crawl space or attic, which is
less efficient.
Fireplaces
When you cozy up next to a crackling fire on a cold winter day, you
probably don't realize that your fireplace is one of the most
inefficient heat sources you can possibly use. It literally sends your
energy dollars right up the chimney along with volumes of warm air. A
roaring fire can exhaust as much as 24,000 cubic feet of air per hour
to the outside, which must be replaced by cold air coming into the
house from the outside. Your heating system must warm up this air,
which is then exhausted through your chimney. If you use your
conventional fireplace while your central heating system is on, these
tips can help reduce energy losses.
Fireplace Tips
• If you never use your fireplace, plug and seal the chimney flue.
• Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is going. Keeping
the
damper open is like keeping a window wide open during the winter; it
allows warm air to go right up the chimney.
• When you use the fireplace, reduce heat loss by opening dampers in
the bottom of the firebox (if provided) or open the nearest window
slightly— approximately 1 inch—and close doors leading into the
room. Lower the thermostat setting to between 50° and 55°F.
• Install tempered glass doors and a heat-air exchange system that
blows warmed air back into the room.
• Check the seal on the flue damper and make it as snug as possible.
• Add caulking around the fireplace hearth.
• Use grates made of C-shaped metal tubes to draw cool room air into
the fireplace and circulate warm air back into the room.
Natural Gas and Oil Heating Systems
If you plan to buy a new heating system, ask your local utility or
state energy office for information about the latest technologies
available to consumers. They can advise you about more efficient
systems on the market today. For example, many newer models
incorporate designs for burners and heat exchangers that result in
higher efficiencies during operation and reduce heat loss when the
equipment is off. Consider a sealed combustion furnace; they are both
safer and more efficient.
Long-Term Savings Tip
• Install a new energy-efficient furnace to save money over the long
term. Look for the ENERGY STAR and EnergyGuide labels.
Programmable Thermostats
You can save as much as 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills
by simply turning your thermostat back 10% to 15% for 8 hours. You can
do this automatically without sacrificing comfort by installing an
automatic setback or programmable thermostat.
Using a programmable thermostat, you can adjust the times you turn on
the heating or air-conditioning according to a pre-set schedule. As a
result, the equipment doesn't operate as much when you are asleep or
when the house or part of the house is not occupied.
Programmable thermostats can store and repeat multiple daily settings
(six or more temperature settings a day) that you can manually
override without affecting the rest of the daily or weekly program.
Landscaping
Landscaping is a natural and beautiful way to keep your home cool in
summer and reduce your energy bills. In addition to adding aesthetic
value and environmental quality to your home, a well-placed tree,
shrub, or vine can deliver effective shade, act as a windbreak, and
reduce overall energy bills.
Carefully positioned trees can save up to 25% of a typical household's
energy used for heating and cooling. Computer models from DOE predict
that just three trees, properly placed around the house, can save an
average household between $100 and $250 in heating and cooling energy
costs annually.
Studies conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found
summer daytime air temperatures to be 3° to 6°F cooler in tree-shaded
neighborhoods than in treeless areas.
The energy-conserving landscape strategies you should use for your
home depend on the type of climate in which you live.
Insulation and Sealing Air Leaks
The answer is probably "yes" if you:
• Have an older home and haven't added insulation. Only 20% of
homes built before 1980 are well insulated.
• Are uncomfortably cold in the winter or hot in the summer— adding
insulation creates a more uniform temperature and increases comfort.
• Build a new home, addition, or install new siding or roofing.
• Pay high energy bills.
• Are bothered by noise from outside—insulation muffles sound.
Long-Term Savings Tip
One of the most cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable
year-round is to add insulation to your attic. Adding insulation to
the attic is relatively easy and very cost effective.
To find out if you have enough attic insulation, measure the thickness
of the insulation. If it is less than R-22 (7 inches of fiber glass or
rock wool or 6 inches of cellulose), you could probably benefit by
adding more. Most U.S. homes should have between R-22 and R-49
insulation in the attic.
If your attic has enough insulation and your home still feels drafty
and cold in the winter or too warm in the summer, chances are you need
to add insulation to the exterior walls as well. This is a more
expensive measure that usually requires a contractor, but it may be
worth the cost if you live in a very hot or cold climate.
You may also need to add insulation to your crawl space. Either the
walls of the crawl space or the floor above the crawl space should be
insulated.
How Much Insulation Does My Home Need?
New Construction
For new construction or home additions, R-11 to R-28 insulation is
recommended for exterior walls depending on location. To meet this
recommendation, most homes and additions constructed with 2 in. x 4
in. walls require a combination of wall cavity insulation, such as
batts and insulating sheathing or rigid foam boards. If you live in an
area with an insulation recommendation that is greater than R-20, you
may want to consider building with 2 in. x 6 in. framing instead of 2
in. x 4 in. framing to allow room for thicker wall cavity insulation—
R-19 to R-21.
Today, new products are on the market that provide both insulation and
structural support and should be considered for new home construction
or additions. Structural insulated panels, known as SIPS, and masonry
products like insulating concrete forms are among these. Some
homebuilders are even using an old technique borrowed from the
pioneers, building walls using straw bales. Check online at www.energysavers.gov
for more information on structural insulation.
Radiant barriers (in hot climates), reflective insulation, and
foundation insulation should all be considered for new home
construction.
Sealing Air Leaks
Warm air leaking into your home during the summer and out of your
home during the winter can waste a lot of your energy dollars. One of
the quickest dollar-saving tasks you can do is caulk, seal, and
weatherstrip all seams, cracks, and openings to the outside. You can
save 10% or more on your energy bill by reducing the air leaks in your
home.
Tips for Finding And Sealing Air Leaks
• First, test your home for air tightness. On a windy day, hold a lit
incense stick next to your windows, doors, electrical boxes, plumbing
fixtures, electrical outlets, ceiling fixtures, attic hatches, and
other locations where there is a possible air path to the outside. If
the
smoke stream travels horizontally, you have located an air leak
that may need caulking, sealing, or weatherstripping.
Sources of Air Leaks in Your Home
Areas that leak air into and out of your home cost you lots of money.
Check the areas listed below.
Dropped ceiling
Water heater and furnace flues
Window frames
Recessed light
All ducts
Electrical outlets and switches
Attic entrance
Door frames
Plumbing and utility access
Sill plates
Chimney flashing
Insulation and Sealing Air Leaks
• Caulk and weatherstrip doors and windows that leak air.
• Caulk and seal air leaks where plumbing, ducting, or electrical
wiring penetrates through exterior walls, floors, ceilings, and
soffits over cabinets.
• Install rubber gaskets behind outlet and switch plates on exterior
walls.
• Look for dirty spots in your insulation, which often indicate holes
where air leaks into and out of your house. You can seal the holes by
stapling sheets of plastic over the holes and caulking the edges of
the plastic.
• Install storm windows over single-pane windows or replace them with
double pane windows.
• When the fireplace is not in use, keep the flue damper tightly
closed. A chimney is designed specifically for smoke to escape, so
until you close it, warm air escapes—24 hours a day!
• For new construction, reduce exterior wall leaks by either
installing house wrap, taping the joints of exterior sheathing, or
comprehensively caulking and sealing the exterior walls.
How and Where Does the Air Escape?
Plumbing penetrations 13%
Windows 10%
Floors, walls, and ceiling 31%
Fireplace 14%
Fans and vents 4%
Doors 11%
Ducts 15%
Electric outlets 2%
Air infiltrates into and out of your home through every hole, nook,
and cranny. About one-third of this air infiltrates through openings
in your
ceilings, walls, and floors.
Your Home’s Energy Use
to find out which parts of your house use the most energy. A home
energy audit will pinpoint those areas and suggest the most effective
measures for cutting your energy costs. You can conduct a simple home
energy audit yourself, you can contact your local utility, or you can
call an independent energy auditor for a more comprehensive
examination. For more information about home energy audits, including
free tools and calculators, visit www.energysavers.gov or www.natresnet.org/resources/
Energy Auditing Tips
• Check the insulation levels in your attic, exterior and basement
walls, ceilings, floors, and crawl spaces. Visit www.energysavers.gov
for instructions on checking your insulation levels.
• Check for holes or cracks around your walls, ceilings, windows,
doors, light and plumbing fixtures, switches, and electrical outlets
that can leak air into or out of your home.
• Check for open fireplace dampers.
• Make sure your appliances and heating and cooling systems are
properly maintained. Check your owner's manuals for the recommended
maintenance.
• Study your family's lighting needs and use patterns, paying
special
attention to high-use areas such as the living room, kitchen, and
outside lighting. Look for ways to use lighting controls—like
occupancy sensors, dimmers, or timers—to reduce lighting energy use,
and replace standard (also called incandescent) light bulbs and
fixtures with compact or standard fluorescent lamps.
Formulating Your Plan
After you have identified where your home is losing energy, assign
priorities by asking yourself a few important questions:
• How much money do you spend on energy?
• Where are your greatest energy losses?
• How long will it take for an investment in energy efficiency to pay
for itself in energy cost savings?
• Do the energy saving measures provide additional benefits that are
important to you (for example, increased comfort from installing
double-paned, efficient windows)?
• How long do you plan to own your current home?
• Can you do the job yourself or will you need to hire a contractor?
• What is your budget and how much time do you have to spend on
maintenance and repair?
How We Use Energy in Our Homes
Heating accounts for the biggest chunk of a typical utility bill.
Once you assign priorities to your energy needs, you can form a whole
house efficiency plan. Your plan will provide you with a strategy for
making smart purchases and home improvements that maximize energy
efficiency and save the most money.
Another option is to get the advice of a professional. Many utilities
conduct energy audits for free or for a small charge. For a fee, a
professional contractor will analyze how well your home's energy
systems work together and compare the analysis to your utility bills.
He or she will use a variety of equipment such as blower doors,
infrared cameras, and surface thermometers to find leaks and drafts.
After gathering information about your home, the contractor or auditor
will give you a list of recommendations for cost effective energy
improvements and enhanced comfort and safety. A good contractor will
also calculate the return on your investment in high efficiency
equipment compared with standard equipment.
Tips for Finding a Contractor
• Ask neighbors and friends for recommendations
• Look in the Yellow Pages
• Focus on local companies
• Look for licensed, insured contractors
• Get three bids with details in writing
• Ask about previous experience
• Check references
• Check with the Better Business Bureau
Checking your home's insulation is one of the fastest and most cost
efficient ways to use a whole house approach to reduce energy waste
and make the most of your energy dollars. A good insulating system
includes a combination of products and construction techniques
that protect a home from outside temperatures—hot and cold, protect
it against air leaks, and control moisture. You can increase the
comfort of your home while reducing your heating and cooling needs by
up to 30% by investing just a few hundred dollars in proper insulation
and sealing air leaks.
Insulation
First, check the insulation in your attic, ceilings, exterior and
basement walls, floors, and crawl spaces to see if it meets the levels
recommended for your area. Insulation is measured in R-values—the
higher the R-value, the better your walls and roof will resist the
transfer of heat. DOE recommends ranges of R-values based on local
heating and cooling costs and climate conditions in different areas of
the nation. State and local codes in some parts of the country may
require lower R-values than the DOE recommendations.
Where to Insulate
Adding insulation in the areas shown below may be the best way to
improve your home's energy efficiency.
Crawl space
Basement
Attic
Walls
Floors
For customized insulation recommendations, visit energysavers.gov and
check out the Zip Code Insulation Calculator, which lists the most
economic insulation levels for your new or existing home based on your
zip code and other basic information about your home.
Although insulation can be made from a variety of materials, it
usually comes in four types; each type has different characteristics.
Rolls and batts—or blankets—are flexible products made from mineral
fibers, such as fiberglass and rock wool. They are available in widths
suited to standard spacings of wall studs and attic or floor joists.
2x4 walls can hold R-13 or R-15 batts; 2x6 walls can have R-19or R-21
products.
Loose-fill insulation—usually made of fiberglass, rock wool, or
cellulose comes in shreds, granules, or nodules. These small particles
should be blown into spaces using special pneumatic equipment. The
blown-in material conforms readily to building cavities and attics.
Therefore, loose-fill insulation is well suited for places where it is
difficult to install other types of insulation.
Rigid foam insulation—foam insulation typically is more expensive
than fiber insulation. But it's very effective in buildings with
space limitations and where higher R-values are needed. Foam
insulation R-values range from R-4 to R-6.5 per inch of thickness
(2.54 cm), which is up to 2 times greater than most other insulating
materials of the same thickness.
Foam-in-place insulation—can be blown into walls and reduces air
leakage.
Insulation Tips
• Consider factors such as your climate, building design, and budget
when selecting insulation R-values for your home.
• Use higher density insulation, such as rigid foam boards, in
cathedral ceilings and on exterior walls.
• Ventilation plays a large role in providing moisture control and
reducing summer cooling bills. Attic vents can be installed along the
entire ceiling cavity to help ensure proper airflow from the soffit to
the attic to make a home more comfortable and energy efficient.
• Recessed light fixtures can be a major source of heat loss, but you
need to be careful how close you place insulation next to a fixture
unless it is marked IC—designed for direct insulation contact. Check
your local building codes for recommendations.
How to Save Energy and Money
Tips to Save Energy Today
• Set your thermostat comfortably low in the winter and comfortably
high in the summer. Install a programmable thermostat that is
compatible with your heating system.
• Use compact fluorescent light bulbs.
• Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.
• Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use.
• Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power
strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use
(TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power).
• Lower the thermostat on your hot water heater to 120° F.
• Take short showers instead of baths.
• Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.
• Look for the ENERGY STAR® label on home appliances and products.
ENERGY STAR products meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
