Follow these simple Energy Tips to help save energy and reduce your household's energy bills at the same time!
Stereo Remember to turn off your stereo when you leave your room
Window When it is sunny outside during the winter, open your window coverings to let the sunshine in to help warm up your house
Video Game Did you know that even when you are not playing your video game it still uses energy if it is plugged in?
Leaky faucets waste both water and energy. By installing aerators on your faucet you will help save energy by reducing the amount of water that is heated by your hot water heater.
Shower
Taking cooler shorter showers saves energy by reducing the amount of water your hot water heater has to warm up
Fireplace
Close the chimney flue during the winter to your fireplace so that warm air doesn’t escape and open your chimney flue in the summer so the warm air can get out
Ceiling Fan
Ceiling fans can reduce the amount of air conditioning that your house needs during the summer, and during the winter since hot air rises, ceiling fans can help push hot air down so you don’t have to use your heater as much
Door
Close doors to rooms that are not in use and shut the vent so that energy is not used to heat or cool a room that nobody is using
Dryer
Don’t over dry your clothes and remember to clean the lint screen so that your dryer will use less energy
Oven
Don’t open the oven often when you are cooking. Every time you open the oven door heat escapes and the oven has to use more energy to heat up again
Stove
If you smell gas near your stove remember to go outside right away and tell an adult that the gas is leaking
Furnace
If you dress a little warmer in the winter you won’t have to turn your heater on as high
