peratures year-round in an effi-
cient manner across a variety of
climates.
Heat pump HVAC systems,
like those from LG, are an ener-
gy-efficient alternative to furnac-
es and air conditioners that rely
on costly fossil fuel resources to
warm or cool air as needs change
throughout the year.
4. INSTALL HIGH-
PERFORMANCE WINDOWS
Windows are important parts of
a home, letting in natural light,
providing ventilation options
and making your home aes-
thetically appealing. Window
technology has changed tre-
mendously over the decades,
meaning older windows are
often drafty and leaky, which
wastes energy and can let in
moisture that may later lead to
mold problems.
According to the EPA, replac-
ing old, poorly made windows
with modern ENERGY STAR
certified windows lowers house-
hold energy bills by an average
of 12%. In addition, look for
windows with low-emissivity
glass coatings (also called low-e)
because they help filter ultravi-
olet rays from coming into your
home, which means you get to
enjoy the natural light with less
sun damage to floors, carpets
and furniture.
Upgrading your home for
yourself and the planet is a win-
win. These steps will help make
your home more comfortable
and increase its value while
lowering your utility bills and
environmental impact, helping
to make your energy choices
count.
