How to Make Your Business Energy-Efficient | Mr. Electric of Austin

People working on laptop.

Everyone is always looking for a way to save a dollar, especially when a new year arrives. Companies are no different. They are looking for ways to save money so that more of a profit can be made within the year.

One way companies can save money is by making their buildings more energy-efficient. That’s why our team at Mr. Electric of Austin wants to share some tips on increasing your office’s efficiency.

Keep More Money in Your Company’s Pocket

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy states that office equipment makes up more than 7% of total commercial electricity use. Therefore, one of the best ways companies can start saving money on energy each month is by focusing on how to make their office equipment more efficient.

The following are ways to do just that:

Change Out Those Desktop Computers

Is your company still using desktops as your employees’ main computer resource? That could be one of the first places where you can start saving money on energy.

Consider making the switch from desktops to laptops for employees since a laptop actually uses at least 80% less energy than a desktop!

Plus, when your employees travel for business, you do not have to provide them with a laptop in addition to their desktop computer. They will already have a laptop that they can take with them on their trip.

Don’t Forget to Turn Out the Lights

How many times have you walked past an office, only to see the lights on but no one in the room? You are paying to light up a room that is not being occupied!

Therefore, make sure to get everyone involved in making your office more energy-efficient. Reiterate that each employee is responsible for making sure everything is turned off when leaving the office every day.

Make the Lightbulb Switch

You might not think much about it, but the lightbulbs you are currently using in your light fixtures might actually be costing you more money each time you turn them on. Therefore, go through your office and consider making the switch to more energy-efficient lightbulbs, including LEDs.

Are you looking to make your company more energy-efficient in the new year? Contact the team at Mr. Electric of Austin today to get started saving!
