Slipping Through the Cracks: How to stop energy dollars from leaking out of your home

Aug 13, 2024

Did you know a home with inadequate insulation and air leaks can waste more than 20% of the energy used for cooling and heating? That’s like throwing money out the window! As your trusted energy partner, Prince George Electric Cooperative wants to help you stop energy dollars from slipping through the cracks of your home.

To seal in energy savings and improve indoor comfort, be sure to try these simple yet effective tips:


  • One of the simplest and most cost-effective weatherization projects includes air sealing around windows and exterior doors.

  • Tackle air leaks around exterior doors and operable windows with weatherstripping.

  • If your home is unusually warm, it may be time to install additional insulation. Ensure your home is properly insulated.

  • Know how much energy you’re using to better monitor your electric budget.  Simply sign up for energy usage alerts via the SmartHub app. More about SmartHub here: https://www.pgec.coop/smarthub
