Homeowners are aware of the many energy efficient changes that can be made in the home, but how should they choose between all the options out there? Keep the following three tips in mind to maximize the benefits of the changes you make.

 For starters, go with a visible change. Invest in a home energy monitor, easy controlled thermostat or even something as simple as electric power strips. As these changes are clear to see, your family will be more likely to remember to use them.

 Consider switching to an Energy Star appliance for maximum efficiency and lower monthly bills. Created with the environment and your wallet in mind, these are a great step toward change. 

Finally, make changes that increase comfort, such as installing an AC or a better furnace.
