What is Energy efficiency?
Energy efficiency is how well your home uses energy — affecting your comfort, your bills, and your environmental footprint.
Definition
An energy-efficient home uses less power and heat to stay comfortable, thanks to good insulation, sealed windows and doors, efficient appliances, and smart systems. Improvements often pay for themselves through lower bills.
Tracking your usage and making targeted upgrades — like better insulation or a heat pump — can cut costs and increase your home's value and appeal.
