Efficiency improvement in home comfort means using upgrades, settings, and maintenance that reduce energy use for HVAC and water heating while maintaining comfort. Examples include high-efficiency HVAC systems, duct sealing, smart thermostats, heat pump or tankless water heaters, pipe/tank insulation, and regular tune-ups. These steps cut utility bills and reduce emissions by using less energy for the same comfort.

Heating, cooling, and water heating are typically the largest energy loads in a home.
Are tankless water heaters always more efficient?
They can be, but efficiency depends on demand, fuel type, and proper sizing.
Does lowering water heater temperature save money?
Yes. Reducing the setpoint to 120°F lowers standby losses and improves efficiency.
How often should a water heater be maintained?
Most tanks should be flushed annually; a technician can confirm the right schedule for your water quality.
