Fireplaces can theoretically help you save on heating bills if you lower the temperature throughout the rest of your home and heat only a single room that you occupy using the fireplace. However, in most cases, homeowners won’t save any money on heating bills.

You can also use smart lights and light switches to control usage via a smartphone or voice-controlled device.

Audits include inspecting insulation, HVAC systems, windows, and appliances to identify energy inefficiencies.
