Can Nordic Energy Help Me Conserve Energy?

At Nordic Energy, we believe in saving energy whenever possible; it's good for the planet and your budget. Here are a few tips to help you conserve.

  • If the light fixtures in your home are several years old, consider replacing them with newer models. Modern equipment has a focus on the efficient use of energy.

  • Clean or replace the air filters in your HVAC system on a regular schedule. Clean filters do a better job of cleaning the air, and your heating and air system doesn't have to work as hard to move air through new filters.

  • It's tempting to leave devices like computers and printers plugged in and powered on. However, they draw power even when in sleep mode, so turn them off or disconnect them when you're not actively using them.

  • Use natural resources whenever possible. Open blinds or shades to let sunlight flow in, open windows when the weather is pleasant, and use fans to draw in air and reduce reliance on your HVAC system.
