One way, a frugal way to look at maximizing your energy conservation in the quickest way is to complete an energy audit. Check with your local power company as it more than likely is a free service they offer.
Although, Herr Frugal is not a tax expert, there are some energy savings or tax breaks that are available during filing time. Here in Florida, there are state programs to assist with modifications made to your home to upgrade to current standards.
I was looking around the house and we had replaced our water heater about two years ago. We thought we were doing a good thing by upgrading the size of the water heater. Longer showers! However, what I just discovered, the option we went with is very near the worst of the energy efficient models. A quick fix or assistance to this plan may be a thermal blanket. Another, but don't tell Frau Frugal, but the thermostat for the water heater may go down to conserve a bit.
Will report to you any savings or if the theory is a bust! Leave a comment if youv'e tried this as well. Thanks for reading.
