With 2021 finally here, New Year鈥檚 resolutions are on many people鈥檚 minds鈥搊urs included.
At ecobee, we鈥檙e always thinking about the steps you can take to make your home more comfortable, safe, and eco-friendly. This year, we hope to see the return of using our homes for more things like entertaining and gathering with family and friends, and January is a great time to think about what you can do to improve and invest in your home.
Here are our top five resolutions to make for your home in 2021.

1. Make your home more safe and secure.
As life begins to slowly get back to normal and more people are coming and going from your home, it鈥檚 more important than ever to make your home a safe and secure haven. ecobee鈥檚 line of smart cameras and sensors can help you keep an eye on what鈥檚 happening in your home when you鈥檙e not there, as well as alerting you to any entrances or departures.

2. Commit to making your home more energy efficient.
There鈥檚 no better time than the present to take steps to lower your environmental footprint. ecobee thermostats not only conserve energy, but also save users up to 23%* on annual energy costs. In many areas you鈥檒l even get rewarded for going green: utility providers often offer customers a rebate to reduce their electricity use during peak periods. Find out if you鈥檙e eligible for a program in your area.

3. Work on a new home improvement project or renovation.
Whether it鈥檚 a small project or a major renovation, 2021 is the year to commit to getting it done. ecobee offers a number of product solutions to help make your new and improved home secure, comfortable, and eco-friendly.

4. Prioritize clean air in your home.
The quality of the air we breathe has never been more important. While we can all do our part to improve air quality by biking or walking to the store instead of driving, improving the air quality inside our homes often goes overlooked. An air filter delivery subscription helps solve that issue. Just like many of your favourite delivery services, air filters will be delivered to your door on a regular basis to ensure the freshest indoor air for you and your family.

5. Declutter your home and your life.
2020 was an intense year, to say the least. With most of us spending more time at home than ever, it鈥檚 probably safe to say that our homes (and overall lives) could use some decluttering. The usual suspects, like closets, cupboards, and drawers could all benefit from a good round of 鈥淜eep/Donate/Discard,鈥� but other places like garages, sheds, and even your car could probably benefit from a little decluttering too.
