Energy Tips

Friday | March 11, 2022
All News

Energy savings are a great way to go green while saving money each month. With just a few new habits or DIY fixes, it’s possible you could be saving energy in your home!

  1. Lower your water heater's temperature and install low flow faucets and showerheads
  2. Use low-cost caulk to seal cracks and openings in your home, reducing loss in conditioned air
  3. Use a programable thermostat when possible, never raising the temperature more than 2 degrees at a time
  4. Change air filters in you air handler every 30 days to ensure your smoother air flow from your heating/cooling system
  5. During warmer months, close blinds, shades, and drapes on the sunny side of your home to keep the temperature cooler. During cooler months, open your blinds, shades, and drapes to let the sun warm your home.
  6. Turn lights and paddle fans off when exiting a room
  7. Use LED bulbs to replace less efficient light bulbs in your home
  8. Use a microwave to heat leftovers rather than a stovetop or oven
  9. Keep refrigerator coils clean and check the cooling settings
  10. Fully fill dishwashers before beginning a cycle
