Majority of Americans Choose Energy Efficiency for the Savings it Provides
Results of HomeServe Biannual State of the Home Survey
NORWALK, Conn. — Concerns surrounding climate change have continued to grow in recent years, driving government efforts, global initiatives, and political debates around reducing energy consumption — but for most Americans who plan to make their home more energy efficient in the next 12 months, the biggest motivator for making the changes comes down to the money it allows them to save.
Among the two-thirds (66 percent) of Americans that plan to take steps to make their home energy efficient in the next year, 84 percent say saving on their energy bills is the driving factor behind the changes they plan to make. The findings are from the Winter 2016 edition of the HomeServe Biannual State of the Home Survey from HomeServe USA, a provider of home repair solutions and energy-related services. The survey is a biannual report on the financial impact of home repairs and energy use facing American homeowners, and was conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of HomeServe in February 2016, among over 2,100 adults ages 18 and older.
