I'm thinking of making some energy efficiency upgrades to my home. What are some good options?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Some popular options include installing solar panels, upgrading to a smart thermostat, and adding insulation to your attic or walls.<|im_end|>

That sounds good. Are solar panels expensive to install?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The cost of solar panels has decreased over the years, but the initial installation can still be a significant investment. However, many homeowners find that the long-term savings on their energy bills make it a worthwhile investment.<|im_end|>

Okay, I'll consider that. Can you tell me more about smart thermostats?<|im_end|>

Smart thermostats can learn your schedule and preferences to optimize your home's temperature, saving you energy and money. Many models also come with features like remote access and energy usage tracking.<|im_end|>
