Energy Saving: Window Films
Apply reflective window film to sun-facing windows. It blocks heat in summer and retains heat in winter, reducing HVAC load.

Use ceiling fans in summer to circulate air, allowing you to set the thermostat higher. In winter, reverse the fan to push warm air down.
Apply weatherstripping to doors and windows to seal gaps. This prevents drafts and keeps heated/cooled air inside, improving efficiency.
Check attic insulation levels. If you can see the joists, you likely need more. Proper insulation can reduce energy bills by up to 20%.
Replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs. They use 75% less energy and last 25 times longer. The upfront cost is higher, but savings are realized within months.
Lower your thermostat by 1-2°C (2-4°F) in winter and raise it in summer. This can save up to 10% annually on heating and cooling costs. Use a programmable thermostat for automation.
