Nest Smart Home

Without a good bit of elbow grease, you will find it very hard to keep your home energy efficient. There are a number of things that can be done to make a home more efficient. The first thing a homeowner will need to do when trying to avoid wasting energy is to find and seal any air leaks that exist around the windows or doors. Once you have done this, you may want to think about changing out some of the components of your HVAC system. Luckily, there are a variety of tax credits out there for homeowners who are willing to invest in energy efficient HVAC equipment.

 

Getting an Air-Source Heat Pump

Another great addition to make to your home when trying to make it more efficient is an air source heat pump. This system utilizes the principles of vapor compression refrigeration to heat and cool a home. By using the heat on the outside of a home and then transferring it inside, the air source heat pump will allow you to save a lot of money on your energy bills. When getting this type of heat pump, you will be able to take advantage of credits of up to $900. Choosing an air source heat pump with a high SEER rating will increase the rebate you are eligible for.

 

Replacing Your Existing HVAC Unit

One of the best ways to make your home more energy efficient is by replacing your existing HVAC unit. Choosing an HVAC unit with a SEER rating of over 14 will allow you to adequately heat and cool your home without wasting a lot of energy in the process. Replacing your home’s HVAC unit will allow you to take advantage of tax credits of up to $500.

 

Finding the Right Professionals to Install These Upgrades
