Welcome to An Efficient Home
I am a retired electrical contractor. I am not the most savvy when it comes to all of the efficiency items available for an efficient home today. Back in “the day” only wealthy people could afford extremely efficient components. Today, they seem more readily available and not so hard to implement into an efficient home infrastructure, either by DIY or paying someone to do it.
I am hoping this site becomes as close to a one-stop-and maybe shop (nothing to sell at the moment, beyond what I do know) site – you can help! An efficient home can only get better with input from others
I believe that true efficiency isn’t about sacrificing comfort—it’s about optimizing the way we live, build, and power our spaces. Whether you’re managing a rural homestead, living in the City or its suburbs, if you have or want an efficient home, or simply looking to lower your daily energy footprint, An Efficient Home will hopefully become a practical guide to modern integration.
