Energy Saving Tips:

  • Install programmable heating/cooling thermostats (you will save an
    average of 20% heating and cooling costs).

  • Replace regular incandescent bulbs with “Energy Star” compact
    fluorescent bulbs (you will save up to 75% on your electricity
    usage).

  • Light dimmers not only set the mood, they also save energy &
    prolong the life of the bulb:

  FACT:
  Dimming the lights      Saves electricity        Bulbs last
         10%                          10%                       3 years
         25%                          20%                       6 years
         35%                          28%                      10 years

  • Run your dishwasher only when full.

  • Your refrigerator runs most efficiently when it is full.

  • Buy only appliances that have the Energy Star label.

  • Install time clocks to control lights and appliances.

  • Install photocell controls to prevent lights from being accidentally
    left on during the day.

  • Clean out your dryer vent regularly.  It will operate more efficiently
    and prevent fires..

  • Practice “turn off – turn on” when you leave and enter a room.

  • Install an attic cooling/exhaust fan to make the house more
    comfortable and the air conditioner won’t have to work as hard,
    which will save energy.

  • Unplug any battery chargers or power adapters when not in use.

  • Install timer on bath exhaust fans and set for fifteen minutes after
    showering to insure than all moisture is removed to prevent mold.

  FACT:  
 
  The energy used in the average home can be responsible for
  more than twice the greenhouse gas emission of the average car.
  
  When you use less energy at home, you reduce greenhouse
  gas emissions from power plants and help protect our
  environment from the risks of global climate changes

  The smallest thing can add up to a real difference.

  We encourage you to change the light fixtures or bulbs that        
  you use most with Energy Star qualified models.  

  If every American home replaced their five most frequently
  used light fixtures or bulbs in them with Energy Star, we
  would save close to $8 billion each year in energy costs, and
  together we would prevent the greenhouse gases
  equivalent to the emissions from nearly ten million cars.
