A home energy audit is a great way to find out about the electricity you use, detailing where you use it the most and areas where you can save both energy and money. A professional auditor has the equipment necessary to pinpoint your problem areas.

It's important to know how to spot signs of an electrical problem so you can seek help. This can come in the form of outlets, switches, or cords that feel warm or hot to the touch. Also look for flickering lights, tripped circuit breakers, and blown fuses.

If you want to reduce your monthly electric bills, you should look for Energy Star appliances. These use much less energy than traditional appliances do and can save you extensive amounts of money over time.

If you're choosing a large light fixture, make note of how much space it will take up in your room, and plan accordingly. Make sure that your electrical panel is large enough to handle a lot of new lighting, too.
