These days, social media is becoming indispensable.
Whether you are a business trying to gain customers and their loyalty, or a consumer trying to determine the best way to get what you need, many turn to social media.
The energy industry is one turning more and more towards social media, on both sides of the coin.
The industry can use social platforms to get information out and increase customer base, while consumers can use social media platforms to find the best deals in their area and some tips on creating a more energy efficient lifestyle.
Summer Heat and Winter’s Chill
Summer is a time when people are thinking not only about saving on cooling their homes and being more energy and cost-efficient, but also about the upcoming winter and getting the best cost on heating.
As the following article looks at, whatever you’re looking for, summer is a great time for energy reviews and social media can be your friend in getting one done.
Here’s how you can use social media for being more energy-efficient…
• Ask around on your social media sites about local energy reviews and who your friends and neighbors would recommend. An energy review is basically when a professional comes to your home and assesses energy usage. They’ll find ways to improve and save energy, and by simply asking around on Facebook or Twitter, you can find a good reliable source to start out with. Remember, word-of-mouth is a great way to find local professionals, and your social media is a great place to start;
• Take into account what the reviewer finds. You may not be able to complete everything they recommend, but some things you can, at low or even no cost. Sure, it may be expensive to replace all of your windows, but it’s free and just takes a minute to close the flue on your chimney;
• Talk about all seasons. Yes, it is summer, and you want to make sure that your home is cooled efficiently and cost effectively, but it’s also a great time to discuss savings on gas and heating for the winter during your energy review. Social media can help out here as you can research costs per therm and related costs. You can ask around at what your neighbors are paying to heat and cool their homes;
• Use the energy companies’ social media sites. If you are debating changing companies, look to social media to find a new one. Check out the Facebook page, Instagram account and even YouTube channels of your local energy companies. You may find some good information to help you decide, as well as just some good tips to employ in your day to day energy usage.
If you are concerned about your energy output this summer, consider an energy review.
Check out your social media pages for tips as well, things beyond keeping your doors and windows closed to let the cool air out.
You’ll find some great money and energy saving tips and stay cool the summer long.
