Many factors influence the amount of water and energy you use, including the age and condition of your appliances and your regular household activities.
Conducting an energy and water survey is the first and most effective step you can take to lower your utility bill and improve the comfort of your home. You can determine appliance-specific energy use by borrowing a handheld energy meter from your local library.
