The Power of Energy Conservation

By making our homes more energy efficient, we can not only save money but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for our city.

Simple Energy Saving Tips for a More Efficient Home
Weatherize your home: Sealing air leaks and adding insulation can make a big difference in your home’s energy efficiency. This simple step can help keep the warm air inside during the winter and the cool air inside during the summer, reducing the strain on your HVAC system. Learn more about why air sealing is important in New York.
Upgrade to energy-efficient appliances: If your appliances are more than 10 years old, it may be time for an upgrade. Look for ENERGY STAR certified appliances, which use 10-50% less energy than standard models. These eco-friendly household devices can significantly lower your utility expenses. Discover how Patriot Energy Solutions can help you save up to 30% with no-cost energy upgrades through NYSERDA’s EmPower+ program.
Install a smart thermostat: Smart thermostats can learn your habits and automatically adjust the temperature to save energy when you’re away or asleep. Some models can even be controlled from your smartphone! These energy-saving devices are a great way to minimize energy consumption without sacrificing comfort.
