What are the most effective energy-efficient upgrades?

Adding attic insulation, sealing air leaks, upgrading to Energy Star windows, installing a high-efficiency HVAC system, and adding solar panels offer the biggest energy savings. Insulation and air sealing typically have the fastest payback. Start with a home energy audit to identify the best upgrades for your specific home.

Why It Matters

Major energy upgrades can reduce your utility bills by 30 to 50 percent. An audit ensures you invest in the upgrades that will make the biggest difference.
