Energy waste is one of the many fluctuating expenses that homeowners deal with in regards to their monthly bills.

There are a variety of ways to reduce energy waste and your energy bills,  including:

  • Unplugging appliances that aren’t in use
  • Regulating your home’s temperature
  • Updating your home’s fixtures i.e. shutters, windows and doors
