Save Energy: Top 5 Ways To Save Energy
 |
Unplug it! Appliances and equipment that are plugged in are still sucking power even though they’re off (think cell phone chargers, toasters, lamps). Turn off power strips when not in use to reduce “Vampire Power”. |
 |
Install a programmable thermostat or in the summer, keep your thermostat at least 78 degrees while you are at home and at least 85 degrees when gone; in the winter, try 68 when you’re home and 60 when gone. Watch your energy bills drop! |
 |
Replace your air filter at least every 3 months. A blocked filter can cause higher energy costs and system damage. |
 |
Seal it up to avoid intruding air. Replace weather stripping. Seal windows seams. Add extra insulation in attics and in walls. |
 |
Turn your hot water heater down to 120 degrees. The water will still be hot but your energy bill will be much lower. |
