ENERCON TIPS (Do it Yourself Energy Audit)

As a young and vigorous member of society, I have always been asked as to how can I contribute to  change the world. I'm not a superman or something to do a giant movement like that but at least, I have my own little cute ways.

Energy conservation  has been a big challenge for everybody including the government down to the basic unit of society due to the rapid pace of globalization. Sadly, such speedy growth and changes bring along an imaginable scarcity effect in the long run.  Not having supernatural powers to stop such insufficiency in a blink, I'm aware that by exercising my biological capacity, I am able to change the world gradually. How do I plan to do that? By starting at home.

Have you ever wondered what parts of your house use the most energy? to know it, you have to hire a professional energy auditor. The cost-effective alternative is to conduct it yourself. Below are some doit-yourself (DIY) energy assessment tips:

1. Check the insulation in your attic, exterior and basement walls, ceiling, floors, and crawl spaces. Improving your home's insulation is the fastest way to cut on your energy waste. For best results when you insulate your home, consider factors such as climate, home design, and budget. If you intend to install the insulation yourself, be sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and wear the proper protective gear.

2. check for air leaks around your walls, ceilings, windows, doors, light and plumbing fixtures, switches and electrical outlets. Before you insulate your house,  be sure to seal air leaks first because insulating materials will not block leaks.

3. Take time to study your family member's lighting needs and make use of controls-like sensors dimmers or timers - to reduce lightning use if necessary.

4. Check if your refrigerator is overworked. Over time, it will experience wear and tear on door's rubber gasket, build up dirt and dust on coils, thus eroding its efficiency and making it more expensive to operate.

5. Check the insulation of your switches and outlets. To know if there's a leak remove the plate and cover the opening with a ply of tissue affixed to wall at the top with painter's tape, If the tissue billows, it is likely that there is a leakage. If so, immediately insulate the opening with a precut foam gasket.

6. Properly maintain your appliances as well as heating and cooling systems. Be sure to read the corresponding owner's manual for recommended maintenance.

There you have it folks! I encourage you to follow the tips and altogether, let's conserve what we still can!
