How to Make Your Home Green and Reduce Energy Costs with Wolff Mechanical

July 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Going green means following a number of simple steps to make your home more energy efficient and kinder to the environment.  The air conditioner accounts for almost 50 percent of the energy used in the entire country during the peak summer months.  One Arizona air conditioning company, Wolff Mechanical, offers steps to follow to go green with your air conditioning.

The first step is to seal and insulate ductwork to prevent cool air from escaping your home.  This is the same concept as shutting your doors when you have your AC on.  Secondly, add insulation to your attic to keep the cool air in your home longer and the air conditioner on for a shorter amount of time.  The third tip is to have a programmable thermostat installed.  These thermostats allow to you select the temperatures that you’d like to live in during certain times of the day.  You can even have your air conditioner off until the time that you return home from work.  

The final two tips for making your home green in during the harsh Phoenix summers including installing radiant heat barriers in your attic.  Radiant heat barriers are a thin layer or metal insulation which reduces the radiant heat transfer into the attic by up to 95 percent. Finally, install and use ceiling fans throughout your home for a pleasant breeze.
