Tips for Lowering Your Energy Bill
Use less energy and save more money with simple, small changes around your home or business.
-
Lower your thermostat.
Each degree over 68°F can increase your energy usage by 3 percent.
-
Consider a cold wash.
Switching your temperature setting from hot to cold can cut energy use in half for washing one load.
-
Keep ducts and vents clean.
Your heating system will run more efficiently, and it might last longer.
-
Swap out your shades seasonally.
Light-colored window coverings reflect the sun's energy, while darker ones absorb it and release heat.
-
Take showers instead of baths
Showers use half as much water as baths. Less hot water means less energy used.
