While we continue to have chilly weather, check out these tips on how to conserve energy this winter!
Close Fireplace Dampers Unless a fire is burning, close your fireplace damper to prevent warm air from escaping up the chimney.
Do Not Use Pool Heater Instead, run your pool pump during the coldest part of the day to circulate the water and prevent freezing.
Full Loads Operate your clothes washer, dryer, and dishwasher only when fully loaded.
Lower Water Heater Lower water temperature to 120°. Water heating accounts for as much as 25% of the energy consumed in your home.
Reduce Shower/Bath Time Showering and bathing can account for 40% of your home's hot water use.
Lower Your Thermostat Lower your thermostat to 68° during the day and 58° when you are away from home where safe to do so.
