Tips for Lowering Your Energy Bill

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

Keep shades, blinds, and curtains drawn.

About 40 percent of unwanted heat comes through windows.
Beware of vampire power.

Many electronics will draw power even when turned off. Consider unplugging them or use an advanced power strip.
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.
Pack the fridge smartly.

Let cold air circulate between items in your fridge, but pack things tight in the freezer.
Give your computer a rest.

Set your computer to go to “sleep” after 20 minutes of inactivity.
Look for the ENERGY STAR.

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