As a Solar Energy contractor our job is to optimize the energy consumption, not just place panels on your roof. Sense has been key in identifying inefficiencies on our customers’ homes, especially the A/Cs and Water Heaters…the biggest Energy Hogs! We’ve been able help our customers maximize their investment by making energy visible even before we install solar, this means they get to see the real impact before and after. Average energy savings are 30% for A/Cs and 10-15% on water heaters. With SENSE their no need to guess where your energy is being used and where your home improvement budget should be invested. Data is not an opinion, it is fact…makes SENSE?

Small Load setting = BIG Savings

After Sense found our Dryer I was amazed that the unit uses 5kW when drying a normal load. I played with the different drying setting and found the the “small load” setting only uses 3kW and dries the laundry just as well. I have worked in educating my wife to use this small load setting, and she remembers most days. When she doesn’t I have also set my alerts to let me know when the dryer is turned on. If she “forgets” to use the small load setting, I head up to my laundry room and restart the load on the small load setting.
