Tips for saving energy and money
Summer is in season! It’s time for vacations, backyard barbecues, and enjoying fun in the sun with friends and family. And when you’re cooling off at home, here are a few ways to keep your usage in check.
Around your space: Small habits and updates can help make your home more energy efficient and save on electricity.
Raise your thermostat
On a hot day, A/Cs can use more than 10 times as much electricity as all the lights in your home.1 Raising your thermostat a few degrees will help you use less.
Run your ceiling fan counterclockwise
It helps push cool air down into the room, so your A/C doesn't have to work as hard.
Seal your doors and windows
Check for air leaks around windows and doors and seal them with weatherstripping to help keep warm air out. Most hardware and home improvement stores carry easy, DIY-friendly options.
Change or clean your filters
Fresh filters help air circulate more efficiently so your A/C doesn’t have to work as hard. Check your filter every few months or more often if you have pets.
