The Ultimate Homeowner’s Energy Savings Checklist

Inside Your Checklist:

HVAC Savings Tips:

  • Change HVAC filters every 1-3 months (dirty filters = higher bills).
  • Install a programmable or smart thermostat to automate savings.
  • Schedule an annual HVAC tune-up to maintain top efficiency.
  • Seal leaky ducts (lose up to 30% of heating/cooling if ignored!).
  • Upgrade to a high-efficiency HVAC system (17+ SEER, Energy Star Rated).

Solar Energy Tips:

  • Check if your roof gets 5+ hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Trim trees or obstructions shading your panels.
  • Get a free solar evaluation to see if you qualify for 30% tax credits.
  • Clean solar panels annually for maximum output.

Electrical System Savings:

  • Upgrade to LED lighting (uses 75% less energy than incandescent).
  • Use smart plugs and timers to cut “phantom” energy drains.
  • Check your electrical panel — older panels reduce efficiency and safety.
  • Install a home energy monitoring system to track real-time usage.

Pro Tip:
Homeowners in San Francisco Bay Area save even more by qualifying for rebates and incentives on HVAC and solar upgrades!
