EXIT Realty Foothills Prepares Home Owners for Energy Awareness Month

Tips for High Energy Bills

La Verne, Ca (Grassroots Newswire) 10/6/2009 -- To help launch national Energy Awareness Month EXIT Realty Foothills (ERF) has prepared a list of tips to help save energy and cut the cost of home owner’s high energy bills. October is a great time to upgrade any current components in your home because the weather is changing. EXIT Realty Foothills also wants to communicate how important it is to be aware of the effectiveness of windows, heating and cooling systems, and ducts installations when buying a home.

Anyone paying energy bills wonders what they can do to cut the costs, but it is not always as simple as turning the lights off when walking out of a room. There are many culprits to that high energy bill that are not as easy to identify.

If you visit http://www.energystar.gov/, it will suggest a list of things to do to diagnosis you energy problem. Some of them are easy to do and some a bit more difficult. Listed in order of difficulty are the energy saving tips.

• Make sure the water heater is set at 120 degrees


• Check that light the bulbs most frequently used are ENERGY STAR CFL bulbs


• Use Energy star’s “Home Improvement Tool.” By entering a years worth of energy bills, the tool will provide a list of customized suggestions to save on the next utility bills as well as provide an average of other homes in the area.


• Have the home checked for air leaks and insulation problems; this could indicate that it is time for new windows or adding some insulation to the home.


• It may be time to buy newer appliances. If that is the case, make sure the appliances are ENERGY STAR qualified.


• There are programs that will help reduce bills, which some households may qualify for by calling the utility company. It is always a good idea to check.

“I think it is important to be aware of common home energy problems and solutions.” says ERF owner Heather Brang. “If ERF can help home owners and buyers save a little money by being more energy conscience, we are stepping in the right direction.”

EXIT Realty is growing across North America and provides sales associates with the opportunity to earn residual income over and above their own transactions and an enhanced retirement and beneficiary benefit; all of which have been unheard of in the real estate industry until now.
