Tips for Lowering Your Energy Bill

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

Consider a cold wash.

Switching your temperature setting from hot to cold can cut energy use in half for washing one load.
Open your shades on sunny days.

Taking advantage of daylight can help heat the inside spaces and reduce your heating costs.
Keep ducts and vents clean.

Also, replacing the filter in your furnace and AC about every three months will help the heating system last longer.
Take showers instead of baths.

Showers use half as much water as baths. Less hot water means less energy used.
Beware of vampire power.

Many electronics will draw power even when turned off. Consider unplugging them or use an advanced power strip.
Lower your thermostat.

Install a programmable or smart thermostat to better control energy costs.
Switch out any non-LEDs.
