Tips for Lowering Your Energy Bill
Use less energy and save more money with simple, small changes around your home or business.

Run appliances during off-hours.
Reduce heat and moisture in your home by running appliances in the early morning or evening when it’s cooler out.

Keep shades, blinds, and curtains drawn.
About 40 percent of unwanted heat comes through windows.

Pack the fridge smartly.
Let cold air circulate between items in your fridge, but pack things tight in the freezer.

Switch off unneeded lights.
Lighting accounts for nearly 15% of energy costs. Last to leave? Turn off the lights on your way out the door.

Use your dishwasher wisely.
Run full loads, avoid special cycles, and air-dry or towel off clean dishes.

Use power strips to easily turn off electronics.
With the flip of a switch, you can easily cut off power to multiple devices at once.
