Tips to save energy and money
- Set your thermostat to the highest comfortable setting. Even a couple of degrees can help save energy and money. Keep in mind: Your system will run longer – using more energy – the hotter it is outside even if your thermostat setting never changes.
- Use cooler water for washing clothes. Switching your temperature setting from hot to warm can cut a laundry load's energy use in half.
- Run heat-producing appliances during cooler morning hours for additional savings.
- Close curtains and blinds on the sunny side of your home to help prevent the sun from heating your home.
- Operate ceiling fans in a counterclockwise direction in the summer, which pushes cooler air back down into the room.
