Energy Saving Tips = Saving Money
Power down in your home during the summer with these energy saving tips that could save you money.
- Replace air filters monthly. A well-maintained system runs more efficiently.
- Closing drapes during the day can reduce the cooling load of a system.
- Reduce heat producing activities during the day, such as running the dishwasher...run it at night.
- Do full loads of laundry and dishes to make the most of each cycle.
- Keep computer equipment off when not in use, and put your computer in sleep mode between work sessions.
- Flip off the lights and other energy-using devices when you leave a room.
- Wash clothes with cold water.
- Clean the lint filter in your dryer after every cycle.
- Use fans to make to help cool you, so you can raise the thermostat.
- Look for appliances with the Energy Star label.
- Get a central air conditioning system with a SRER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) 14 or higher, or a room unit with the Energy Star label.
