Energy Saving in the Home

Saturday at 8 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Variety Channel

Home owners are puzzled and frustrated by high energy bills. This frustration is compounded by the uncertainty of where to start to solve the problems that cause high energy bills. Sometimes owners begin with the most expensive repairs, while inexpensive treatments could have yielded as much or more savings. Understanding the causes and cures of high energy costs will enable you to solve the energy puzzle. Proper action results in decreased energy usage, lower energy bills, and increased comfort in your home, a healthier home environment, and added value to your home. You will learn about Energy Audits and how to save energy and money. You will hear about building performance systems and improved energy efficient techniques, such as radiant barriers, air sealing, spray foam, and efficient comfort systems.
