The average family in the United States spends around $1,300 a year on bills to provide energy to the home, most of that energy is wasted by the home. Millions of $'s are wasted every year through appliances being unnecessarily left on and conditioned or heated air is just rushing out of buildings. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning units are not being maintained or modified to be the most efficient, windows leak conditioned air, and appliances devour energy.

A power provider, burning fossil fuels, provides all of the power provided to our houses. By wasting this power each and every one of us is burning more fossil fuel than required. Admittedly looking at the power the individual wastes does not mount to a great deal, but if you multiply that by all the homes in the USA (119,117,000), that is an awful lot of wasted energy.
