Simple Ways To Save Energy

Here are some basic things you can do to use energy more efficiently:

• Keep your thermostat set at 68° F in winter and 78° in summer.
• Make sure the registers and vents for your heating/cooling system are not obstructed by furniture, rugs or other objects.
• Use ceiling fans running forward in summer to create a breeze and running in reverse in winter to help circulate heated air.
• Keep your heating and air system running well with clean filters and annual service checks, and keep the outdoor unit clear of grass, leaves and other debris.
• Keep the lint trap and vent hose on your clothes dryer clean.
• Wash clothes in cold water when possible, and try to do laundry in full loads instead of lots of little loads.
• Keep your refrigerator and freezer door seals in good shape.
• Use air-dry setting on your dishwasher.
• Run swimming pool pump minimum time needed to get desired results.
