Home energy and water savings toolkits
Do you know how much energy and water your home uses? Take charge of your usage with the DIY Energy and Water Savings Toolkit. With this handy toolkit, you can measure how much energy and water is consumed and make a few quick home upgrades to save money. Low flow water fixtures reduce the amount of hot water needed and therefore save energy and money by reducing the hot water needs. Involve the kids and make it a fun learning opportunity!
