5 Steps to Improve Home Energy Efficiency

5 Steps to Improve Home Energy Efficiency and How Revise Can Help You Achieve Them

When it comes to saving money on your energy bills and reducing your environmental footprint, home energy efficiency is key. At Revise, we specialize in helping Massachusetts homeowners like you make smart, sustainable improvements. Here are five steps you can take to boost your home’s energy efficiency—and how Revise can guide you through each one.

Seal and Insulate Your Home

Proper insulation and sealing are essential for maintaining a comfortable home temperature year-round. Gaps, cracks, and insufficient insulation can let valuable warm air escape in winter and cool air escape in summer, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime.

How Revise Can Help:

A Mass Save® no-cost Home Energy Assessment includes a thorough inspection of your home’s insulation and sealing. And, Revise performs these assessments to identify areas that need attention and recommend solutions such as weatherstripping, caulking, or adding insulation. If you qualify, we can even assist with incentives through the Mass Save program to offset the costs of these upgrades.

Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors

Old, single-pane windows and outdated doors can be major culprits of energy loss. Replacing them with energy-efficient alternatives helps reduce drafts, improve comfort, and lower your energy bills.

How Revise Can Help:

During your Home Energy Assessment, our energy specialists will assess your windows and doors for efficiency. If replacements are necessary, we’ll guide you through the process of selecting ENERGY STAR® certified products and help you take advantage of available rebates and incentives.

Install a Programmable or Smart Thermostat

A programmable or smart thermostat allows you to optimize your heating and cooling schedules, ensuring that your HVAC system only works when necessary. This small change can lead to significant savings on your energy usage.

How Revise Can Help:

As part of a Mass Save Home Energy Assessment, we can recommend and install a programmable or smart thermostat that fits your needs. Plus, we’ll educate you on how to use it effectively to maximize your energy savings.

Enhance Home Ventilation

Proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and reducing the strain on your HVAC system. Efficient ventilation helps remove stale air and excess moisture, which can improve comfort and energy efficiency in your home.

How Revise Can Help:

The Home Energy Assessment includes an evaluation of your home’s ventilation system. We can identify areas where ventilation can be improved, recommend energy-efficient ventilation solutions, and help you implement these changes to enhance your home’s overall efficiency and comfort.

Optimize Your HVAC System

Your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is a major component of your home’s energy use. Regular maintenance, timely upgrades, and ensuring the system is properly sized for your home can lead to significant energy savings.

How Revise Can Help:

Our experts will evaluate your HVAC system during the assessment, checking for efficiency and recommending any necessary improvements or replacements. We’ll also help you navigate any available rebates for upgrading to a more energy-efficient system.
