Ways To Keep Your Home Energy Efficient

There are ways that you can keep your home more energy efficient. One way is to seal up any air leaks that you find around your home. Air leaks can make chilly drafts throughout your home and have you paying more on your energy bill each month. It is important to find these air leaks and seal them up to prevent cold drafts in your home. Your windows and doors are a great place to check for air leaks in your home. Another thing you can do is to keep your heating and cooling system operating well. Have your heating and cooling system checked and maintained properly each year in your home by a professional. During the year you should check and clean the filters in your system on a regular basis.

Installing a new thermostat in your home could help keep your home more energy efficient. If you have a programmable energy efficient thermostat installed in your home this could help to save money each year. You can adjust the thermostat to a temperature that will be energy efficient in your home. Some thermostats have an energy star label just for helping you choose the right thermostat that could help you to save the most money. Change the light bulbs in your home with light bulbs that are more energy efficient. These energy saving light bulbs have the same output as regular light bulbs but use a lot less energy. They can last up to ten times longer then regular light bulbs and are a smart choice when buying light bulbs for your home.

If you have old appliances, you should replace them with the more energy efficient models to save on your energy bill. Most appliances now days are more updated and energy efficient and will use less energy in your home. When looking for new appliances try and find them with the energy star label on them. These items have been tested to save you money and are energy efficient in your home. These are just a few of the ways that you can save on your energy bill and make your home more energy efficient.

Cavity Wall Insulation and Home Energy Saving

Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) currently operates two home energy conservation programs where the participant house owners may be reimbursed the total cost they incur while carrying out certain home energy improvements. One such improvement is the cavity wall insulation. Cavity walls provide a convenient structural design to support wall insulation material.

Cavity Walls

Cavity walls are external building walls which incorporate an air gap which may be within the wall structure itself (for e.g. Hollow block walls) or between two solid walls (or between two partitions having a narrow air gap separating them).The latter technique was widely used in houses constructed between 1932 to 1982.

Almost all houses constructed after 1982 adopted the cavity wall technique with or without the use of insulation.

Why do you need insulation in cavity wall?

The wall cavity maintains an air gap which is a good insulation. (In fact it is about the best available conveniently and almost all other manufactured insulation material incorporates air bubbles or spaces in order to gain this advantage).When the cavity width between the two walls exceed a certain critical dimension the air within the gap start moving about due to convection (convection currents) which start assisting heat transfer from the warmer to the colder side rather than blocking it.

Porous insulation fill will restrict the air movement within the cavity providing optimized insulation quality.

How to find out whether your house has cavity walls

All houses built during the last 25 years are almost certain to have cavity walls. It is possible these may be insulated too. Houses built during the 50 years prior to that are also likely to have cavity walls but may not have any insulation.

A sure giveaway sign is the brick pattern of the exterior wall. In general wall bricks are laid in 3 patterns. viz;

Stretcher bond Flemish bond

And,

English bond

Of these only the stretcher bond patterned brick walls will have a wall cavity. A stretcher bond patterned brick wall will have the bricks laid flat on side and in a linear manner i.e. bricks laid end to end.

Another tell tale sign is the width of the total wall. Due to the incorporated cavity the width is in excess of the normal 300 mm width you would expect it to have.

It is always better to get a skilled person with proper tools to give advice on these matters. Normally they drill holes in the wall and collect data to find out the details of the air gap, insulation material (if any), and the present condition of it.

Types of insulation for cavity walls

The commonly used materials are;

Fibreglass or mineral wool with short strands Cellulose loose fill or stabilized cellulose Phenolic and other Synthetic foam cavity board –(Used in new constructions only).

Cavity wall insulation if it is a retrofit in an existing house will not take more than 3 or 4 hours. Of course it has to be handled by a skilled person with specialized tools. They would drill holes in the existing external wall at regular intervals, insert a special nozzle and blow short strands of insulation material in to the wall cavity. If the house is being constructed anew phenolic foam rigid board or expanded polystyrene foam boards too may be used.

• Stop Wasting Electricity ? 5 Effective Home Energy Saving Tips to Save Money on Electric Bill
• Save On Home Energy – Saving Electricity At Home
• Save Energy Costs – Saving Home Energy Made Easy!

Do-It-Yourself Home Energy Assessment

Saving money is what every homeowner hopes to do when something goes wrong in their home. Educating yourself on ways to prevent problems is a great way to stop them before they happen. Instead of hiring a professional company, follow these do-it-yourself home assessments to help you and your home. These tips are also great ways to save energy.

When assessing your home, be sure to have your checklist on hand when you inspect and find problems. Creating a list will help you prioritize your energy efficiency upgrades.

Do-It-Yourself Home Energy Assessment

Insulation

Heat loss through the ceiling and walls in due largely to less than enough insulation levels. Older homes   normally do not have adequate enough insulation because of the time they were built.

Check to see if:

• The attic hatch is as heavily insulated as the attic
• The attic hatch is weather stripped and closes tightly
• Pipes, ductwork, and chimneys are sealed
• There is a vapor barrier under the attic insulation
• Attic vents are not blocked by insulation

Heating and Cooling Equipment

Recommendations:

• Filters and replace them as needed
• Change filters about once every month or two, especially during periods of high usage
• Hire a professional to check and clean your equipment once a year
• If your unit is more than 15 years old, consider replacing it with a newer, energy-efficient unit.

Air Leaks

Check to see if air is capable of flowing through these areas:

• Baseboards
• Weather stripping around doors
• Electrical outlets
• Attic hatches
• Window frames
• Switch plates
• Wall and window mounted air conditioners

Be sure to also look for gaps around pipes and wires, electrical outlets, foundation seals, and mail slots.  All caulking and weather stripping should be applied correctly, leaving no gaps or cracks, and in good condition.

Home Energy Audits

Though there are numerous things that can be done to make the house more energy efficient, it is important to know about the best solution among the available options.

First step in making your home energy efficient is to get a home audit done which helps you assess the energy needs of your home. This helps you find out how much energy your home uses and what steps should be taken to optimally use energy and improve the efficiency of your home. Care must be taken to implement the recommendations because audits alone cannot save energy; you also need to take energy saving measures.

Some may recommend that you do the home energy audit on your own as hiring a professional may be an expensive affair, especially for those with already tight budgets. However, you need to realize that an audit done by you cannot be as precise as the one done by a pro. Hence, it is advisable that you hire a professional who has substantial experience in performing home energy audits. Once you have made the decision to seek help, contact a professional home energy auditor. The auditor will check your utility bills, examine your property and energy usage as well as perform certain tests.

The standardized tests employed by most of the professionals comprise blower door test and thermographic scan. In the blower door test, professional installs a large fan into the frame of an exterior door of your home and turns it on. As a result, air blows from inside to outside that creates a lower air pressure within the house as compared to outside. Owing to the lower air pressure, the outside air is drawn into the house through the gaps and vents in the structure of your house. In the thermographic scan, the professional makes use a camera or other scanning devices to take pictures of your home on an infrared spectrum. These pictures make it easy for the auditor to identify areas that have gaps or vents from where your home is losing heat or letting in cold.

With all the requisite data in hand, auditor will be able to recommend a detailed plan to improve the energy efficiency of your home. This plan will vary from one home to another as the energy requirements and use of your home will be differ from that of your neighbor's house. However, most of the auditors recommend measures like improving insulation, upgrading appliances, as well as installing a programmable thermostat and weather stripping, among other steps.

Home energy audit along with the implementation of the recommended steps not only helps in making your home energy efficient but also saves money. On an average, 30% utility savings can be achieved on your pre-audit energy bills if adequate measures are taken to enhance the energy efficiency of your home. Hence, it is advisable to get a home energy audit done at the earliest and save energy as well as money.

Home Energy Kit - Portable Solar Panels

Having your own portable power generator fueled by fossils fuels such as oil is pretty expensive to maintain. Furthermore, you also have to deal with the mess as well as the smoke emitted when operating it. One way to solve this dilemma is by having portable solar panels.

Click Here For Home Energy Kit Best Deal Now!

Whether it is for your boat, camper or RV’s, these mounted solar panels could easily answer the electricity needs of your TV, laptop, and other electronic gadgetry. You would also not be bothered by the noise and pollution usually associated with fossil fuel-based power generators. The best feature with this system is its portability. With this technological innovation, you could do business while on the run. You won’t be hampered by lack of electricity which enables you to run things through your laptop and PDA.

You could have portable solar panels in two ways. One is by buying one that is already ready to be mounted or you could also opt to buy a kit which will teach how to build your own portable solar power system.

Looking for and getting one is also relatively easy. With just a few clicks of a mouse, you could already get quotes from several suppliers. It wouldn’t matter if you wanted something that you would have to install or one that you have to build for your self. The World Wide Web has many businesses offering both options.

Finally, the added bonus of acquiring portable solar panels for your electricity needs is that you are not contributing to the carbon emissions produce by fossil consumption. You are helping revive Mother Nature.
