Energy Efficiency Tips

  2. Energy Efficiency Tips
  • If you aren’t using a light or an appliance, turn it off!
  • Replace incandescent light bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) with light emitting diodes (LEDs). They produce less heat, last up to 10 times longer and use 2/3 less energy.
  • Plug TVs, DVDs and other electric appliances into power strips and cut off the strips when not using.
  • Close blinds on hot days and open them on cold sunny days.
  • In winter, set your heating/cooling (HVAC) thermostat on 68° or lower; set on 78° or higher in summer.
  • Use ceiling fans to help circulate air while you are in the room, so that you can set your thermostat higher in the summer.
  • Don’t cover or block HVAC registers.
  • Keep lamps and other heat-emitting electronics away from your HVAC thermostat to avoid causing false readings and making your system run when it shouldn’t.
  • Clean or replace HVAC system filters monthly.
  • Repair leaky faucets, especially if the leak is coming from the hot water side or if you are using a pump.
  • Never set your water heater above 125° due to the danger of scalding.
  • Insulate the tank and pipes of your water heater. Place water heater in conditioned space for most efficient operation.
