Saving Energy at Home
Cut down on energy use around the house with some basic conservation steps.
Turn Down H2O Thermostat
Small changes such as turning down your water heater to 115 degrees, insulating it, and using less hot water can really make a difference.
Launder with Cooler Water
Think cooler water at laundry time too — try to do cold water wash loads whenever possible. And remember, it's generally more energy efficient to do a full load.
Increase Lighting Efficiency
Light your home more efficiently by using compact fluorescent lamps. They last up to 10 times longer and consume much less electricity than incandescent bulbs.
Make use of task lighting as well so you don't have to over-light a large space.
Use Energy Efficient Appliances
In the kitchen, cooking meals in smaller electric appliances like pressure cookers, convection toaster ovens, and microwaves can conserve energy by reducing cook times.
