Tips for Lowering Your Energy Bill

Use less energy and save more money with simple, small changes around your home or business.

Let the sun in.

Allow natural light in to reduce the need for artificial illumination.
Consider a cold wash.

Switching your temperature setting from hot to cold can cut energy use in half for washing one load.
Give your computer a rest.

Set your computer to go to “sleep” after 20 minutes of inactivity.
Use your dishwasher wisely.

Run full loads, avoid special cycles, and air-dry or towel off clean dishes.
Beware of vampire voltage.

Many electronics continue to draw power even when turned off. Be sure to unplug devices when you’re done.
Look for the ENERGY STAR.

ENERGY STAR products are independently certified to save energy without sacrificing functionality.
