Energy Efficiency TipsEasy low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy

  • Install a programmable thermostat to lower utility bills and manage your heating and cooling systems efficiently. 
  • Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle. 
  • Turn things off when you are not in the room such as lights, TVs, entertainment systems, and your computer and monitor. 
  • Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use -- TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power. 
  • Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F. 
  • Take short showers instead of baths and use low-flow showerheads for additional energy savings. 
  • Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes. 
  • Air dry clothes. 
  • Check to see that windows and doors are closed when heating or cooling your home. 
  • Drive sensibly; aggressive driving such as speeding, and rapid acceleration and braking, wastes fuel. 
  • Look for the ENERGY STAR® label on light bulbs, home appliances, electronics, and other products. ENERGY STAR products meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
