Save On Household

  • Keep your water heater at 115 degrees or less, and turn it off when you are away for more than a week.
  • Make sure your home is adequately insulated. To protect it against the extremes of hot or cold weather or high winds, consider purchasing storm windows and doors. They could pay for themselves over time.
  • If your home has a central air conditioning system, do not close off unused rooms or close air registers in rooms. The system will be less efficient and cost more to operate.
  • Turn off computers overnight and when not in use. Computers, monitors, and other related equipment use a lot of energy.
