How Energy Star Can Help You

In recent weeks, we've talked about alternate ways to get electricity in your home. But what about if wind and solar power aren't viable for your home? There are a few ways you can save money on electricity in your home.  We've talked a little bit about this on the blog before, specifically lighting and utilities in general. As always, getting your home weatherized can help reduce your energy costs! The beginning of the weatherization process starts with an energy audit. But that’s for another blog. This week, we're talking about Energy Star.

Wind Power in Our Homes

Last week, we talked about using solar power in your home to either totally power or at least assist in powering your house. This week we’re going to continue talking about clean energy with another method that gets a lot of pictures taken of it – wind power! You’ve probably seen the Steel Winds project on Lake Erie, near Lackawanna. It is one of the largest urban wind developments in the world, producing enough power for about 6,000 average American homes. Read on for information about your own wind power project!

Using Solar Power in Your Home

                During the recent presidential election, the question was often brought up about alternative power sources. Now, more often than not, they were referring to gasoline alternatives, but we should think about different ways to get power to our homes and businesses as well. After all, what if any of the post-apocalyptic shows and movies ever came true? We would want to still be able to use our devices and appliances, I’m sure! We’re going to look at a couple different alternative sources we could use now. First up is solar power.
