We’ve all been there: January 1st arrives, and we resolve to hit the gym more often or finally organize the garage. But by February, those resolutions often fall by the wayside. This year, why not make a few resolutions that are easy to keep and will actually save you money all year long?
At Climate and Energy Solutions, we believe the best resolutions are the ones that improve your quality of life while putting money back in your pocket. Here are four “Home Energy Resolutions” to help you start 2026 off right.
Resolve to Stop Overpaying the Utility Company
If your New Year’s goal is to get your finances in order, look at your roof. Electricity rates aren’t going down, but the cost of sunshine is always zero.
The Resolution: Invest in solar.
The Payoff: By generating your own power, you protect yourself against future rate hikes and start building equity in your home rather than just paying a monthly “rent” to the utility company.
Resolve to Breathe Cleaner Air
We spend a massive amount of time indoors during the winter months. If your goal for the new year is better health and wellness, start with your home’s “lungs”—your HVAC system.
The Resolution: Upgrade your air filtration or schedule a professional duct cleaning.
The Payoff: Reducing dust, pet dander, and allergens in your home leads to better sleep, fewer allergy flare-ups, and a cleaner living environment for your family.
Resolve to Be Proactive, Not Reactive
Nothing ruins a budget like an emergency furnace repair on the coldest night of the year.
The Resolution: Schedule a bi-annual precision tune-up.
The Payoff: Regular maintenance extends the life of your HVAC system and ensures it’s running at peak efficiency. It’s the difference between a small, affordable adjustment now and a total system replacement later.
4. Resolve to Shrink Your Carbon Footprint
Want to be more eco-friendly in 2026? You don’t have to give up your car to make an impact. High-efficiency HVAC systems and solar panels are the two biggest ways a single household can reduce its environmental impact.
The Resolution: Switch to a high-efficiency heat pump or a multi-head Day and Night system.
The Payoff: You’ll use significantly less energy to keep your home comfortable, reducing your reliance on fossil fuels without sacrificing an ounce of comfort.
