Do you pay attention to the flyers that come with your utility bills? If you have Puget Sound Energy as a vendor you should read them because there are all manner of special offers for upgrading the energy efficiency of your home. In prior month’s bills the flyer had the following offers and ideas:
Windows – replacement windows in today R-values have exponentially better efficiency than even those double pane windows from the 1980’s and most certainly better than old aluminum framed or single paned windows.
Siding – updated siding has the potential of saving upwards of 20% on energy bills.
Solar! – Ah, the crux of the post…. Puget Sound Energy is now offering hot water and electrical systems for both residential and commercial customers. By adding solar it is possible to get credits back from the local utilities and provide power that can be used elsewhere in your grid. All the while you’ll be reducing your carbon footprint and producing a clean, renewable energy.
