Energy saving tips

Winter Energy Saving Tips for Your Home 

Consider these tips where safe to do so.

  • Lower your thermostat to 68 degrees during the day and 58 degrees when you are away from home. 
  • Change or clean your heating and air conditioning unit filter regularly and according to the manufacturer's instructions. Your equipment will use less energy if it ‘breathes’ more easily.
  • Unplug electronic devices and turn off lights that are not in use.  
  • Reduce your shower and bath time. Showering and bathing can account for 40 percent of your home's hot water use.  
  • Operate your clothes washer, dryer, and dishwasher only when fully loaded.  
  • Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is burning. Leaving the damper open is like keeping a window wide open – warm air goes right up the chimney!   
  • If you have a pool, do not use the pool heater. Instead, run your pool pump during the coldest part of the day to circulate the water and prevent freezing.
