Summer, when a person's fancy turns to - Energy Savings?

Yes, yes, and Yes, again! What's a better feeling than knowing you've cut energy costs and made your nest more energy-efficient?

The City of Seattle's downloadable brochure, Do It Yourself Home Energy Audit - A Step-by-Step Guide for Identifying and Improving Your Home's Energy Efficiency, delivers what it promises. You don't need any fancy equipment, and the savings can be significant.

There are Professional Energy Audits

Seattle City Light is sponsoring a program where, for $95, an auditor certified by the Building Performance Institute will visit your home and conduct a thorough assessment for you.

And, there are Energy Performance Scores

Seattle Public Utilities has a program called the Home Resource Profile where customers can fill out a 20-minute survey that will result in a report with easy-to-read charts and graphs showing your billing history, how your usage of water and electricity compares with the average Seattle household, and tips on how to reduce your energy bills.

With a little planning today, you'll be reducing heating and cooling costs and saving energy tomorrow! So, why wait - get started today!
