Green tip: Get a home energy audit and use the results as a plan for the next few years, taking on a couple of the items each year. The average
American home spends around $1,300 – 2,000 a year on energy (depending on the source you check). Depending on your location and income bracket the audit could be anywhere from $0 – 250, and putting the fixes in place will also cost you money, but by the time you’re done, you’ll likely have cut your home energy bill in half.
