Resource Guide on Energy Savings

Ever wonder how turning your home into a smart home could help you save on those energy bills? Well, it’s not just a cool trend – it’s a smart way to use energy more efficiently and save some money in the long run. Let me walk you through how this works.

Smart Thermostats

These are real game-changers. Imagine a thermostat that learns your schedule and adjusts the heating or cooling when you’re not home. It means no more wasting energy heating an empty house. And the best part? You can control it from your phone, even when you’re not there.

Smart Monitoring

These devices keep an eye on your energy usage, so you know exactly where your energy dollars are going. It’s like having a little energy detective in your home, helping you find ways to cut back and save.

LED Smart Lighting

We all forget to turn off lights sometimes. But with smart lighting, that’s no longer an issue. These lights can be set on timers or controlled remotely, so they’re only on when you need them. Plus, LED bulbs use way less energy than traditional bulbs.

Smart Plugs

These little gadgets let you control your appliances and electronics remotely. You can turn off that TV or coffee maker from your phone, even after you’ve left the house. It’s a simple way to avoid ‘vampire power’ – the energy appliances use even when they’re not on but still plugged in.

Smart Energy Savings


Adopting these smart technologies isn’t just good for your wallet; it’s good for the planet. By reducing energy consumption, you’re also cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to a more sustainable future. So, why wait? Start exploring the smart home options today and make a positive impact on your energy bills and the environment.

Let QG Smart Home Explain

Thinking about turning your home into a smart home? It’s not just a cool tech upgrade; it’s a smart move for your energy bills and the environment. Here’s a closer look at how smart home technology can lead to significant energy savings.

Smart Thermostats

These aren’t your average thermostats. Smart thermostats can learn your schedule and adjust the temperature accordingly, saving up to 10-12% on heating and 15% on cooling costs, according to studies by the U.S. Department of Energy. Control them from your phone, and never waste energy heating or cooling an empty home again.

Cost Saving Scenarios for Smart Thermostats

Scenario Annual Heating Cost Annual Cooling Cost Potential Heating Savings Potential Cooling Savings
Typical Household $1,000 $500 $100-$120 (10-12%) $75 (15%)
Large Household $1,500 $750 $150-$180 (10-12%) $112.50 (15%)
Small Household $800 $400 $80-$96 (10-12%) $60 (15%)

LED Smart Lighting

Lighting makes up about 12% of a typical home’s energy usage, but with smart lighting, especially LED bulbs, you can slash that number. LED bulbs use at least 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, and when paired with smart controls like timers and motion sensors, the savings are even greater.

Cost Saving Scenarios for LED Smart Lighting

Scenario Annual Lighting Cost (Incandescent) Potential LED Savings Additional Smart Control Savings Total Potential Savings
Typical Household $200 $150 (75%) Up to 20% $160-$170
Large Household $300 $225 (75%) Up to 20% $240-$255
Small Household $150 $112.50 (75%) Up to 20% $120-$127.50

Smart Plugs and Power Strips

These devices can help you manage “vampire power” – the energy that devices consume when they’re off but still plugged in. By using smart plugs, you can turn off appliances remotely, potentially saving you up to $100-$200 annually on your energy bills.

Cost Saving Scenarios for Smart Plugs

Household Size Estimated Annual “Vampire Power” Cost Potential Savings with Smart Plugs
Small Household $100 Up to $100 (100%)
Medium Household $150 Up to $150 (100%)
Large Household $200 Up to $200 (100%)

Smart Sensors and Monitors

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to energy consumption. Smart sensors and energy monitors can provide real-time data on your usage, helping you pinpoint where you can cut back. On average, households save about 5-10% on their energy bills by making changes based on these insights.

Cost Saving Scenarios for Smart Sensors

Household Type Estimated Annual Energy Cost Potential Savings with Smart Sensors and Monitors
Small Household $1,200 $60-$120 (5-10%)
Medium Household $1,800 $90-$180 (5-10%)
Large Household $2,400 $120-$240 (5-10%)

Automated Window Shades

Properly programmed automated shades can reduce heating, ventilation, and air conditioning costs by up to 10-20%. They work by keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, reducing the need for extra heating and cooling.

Cost Saving Scenarios for Automated Shades

Household Type Estimated Annual HVAC Cost Potential Savings with Automated Shades
Small Household $1,000 $100-$200 (10-20%)
Medium Household $1,500 $150-$300 (10-20%)
Large Household $2,000 $200-$400 (10-20%)

Water-Saving Smart Devices

Let’s not forget about water. Smart irrigation systems can optimize your lawn care, potentially reducing water usage by up to 50%, while smart water heaters can cut your water heating bills by 10-20%.

Cost Saving Scenarios for Water Saving Smart Devices

System Type Estimated Annual Cost Potential Savings
Smart Irrigation System $400 (Water Usage) Up to $200 (50%)
Smart Water Heater $600 (Water Heating) $60-$120 (10-20%)
