As per “the Guardian Weekly”, “…One in three working families struggle to pay their energy bills, it has been claimed, as pressure mounts on suppliers to do more to household… Twenty-nine percent of families do not put on the heating even when the house is cold, while two-thirds fear cutting their energy use to save money will affect their family’s health…”
The cost of energy is worrying us all. Whether you’re a parent to young children running the washing machine daily or operating a small business on a shoestring, saving energy and cutting bills is a priority. But as the price of energy on the international markets rises, and energy suppliers pass on the cost of investment to their consumers, it can feel as if we’re powerless to act.
Saving energy can also help us all to make a personal contribution towards the essential job of cutting carbon emissions, with individual efforts all counting towards the goal of mitigating the effects climate change on our environment and society.
Save hundreds of dollars on your energy bills with our team experts. We reveal ways to save electricity, gas, plus make your home or your business more energy efficient.
Energy efficiency saves you money. The average household spends $5,550/year on energy. But buying energy-efficient appliances, making energy-efficient home improvements, and taking energy-efficient actions, every day can save hundreds of dollars.
Energy efficiency improves the economy. While energy efficiency helps you save at home, it helps businesses and city, state and federal governments save on a much bigger scale. Creating jobs: In addition to saving money, energy efficiency projects (like building improvements and infrastructure repairs) create jobs.
Energy efficiency is good for the environment. It’s a no-brainer: When we use less energy, we save precious natural resources and cut down on pollution. Saving energy resources: If we didn't have energy efficiency, we’d have to produce or import energy sources like oil, natural gas, and coal. So, energy efficiency helps us keep more resources on the earth longer. Avoiding pollution: From power plants to cars, consuming energy can produce emissions that harm our environment. But investments in energy efficiency across the biggest sectors of our economy could abate up to 1.1 gigatons of greenhouse gas emissions annually – that’s equal to taking all cars and trucks off the road for one year.
Energy efficiency improves national security. Energy efficiency safeguards our nation by decreasing the overall demand for energy, and therefore the need to import and transport fuels. Enhancing energy independence: Using fewer of energy resources – like oil to power our vehicles – means we don't need to depend so much on foreign nations. With energy efficiency, we save energy resources for future generations to use. Saving money for defence: As the armed forces improve the energy efficiency of their equipment, buildings and general practices, they save money that can be invested directly in defence programs.
Energy efficiency enhances the quality of life. You might not see it, but you can feel it: Energy efficiency improves quality of life. More comfortable: Notice how your insulated home keeps AC inside during the summer, and heat in during the winter? Or how you rarely need to change your energy-efficient light bulbs? That’s energy efficiency making your environment more enjoyable. More productive: Businesses can improve productivity, as well as the bottom line, by taking advantage of energy efficiency in office buildings and production processes. “Source”
