Efficiency
The goal of energy efficiency is to receive the same level of service for a task, but use less energy in the process. Services can include heating and cooling, lighting, and any tasks that use appliance powered by electricity, gas or other fuel. By selecting an approach that uses less energy, consumers save money, help the environment, and improve the value and affordability of their homes and businesses.
There are many opportunities to become more energy efficient, such as changing behavior, performing maintenance, and installing more efficient equipment. Energy Star estimates that many homeowners and businesses can reduce their energy bills by 20 to 30 percent. Better yet, these savings occur year after year.
