Home Energy Saving Tips
- Lower the temperature on your electric water heater to 120 degrees (F). Turn it off when leaving for extended periods of time. Electric water heaters can be set on timers; gas heaters must be set manually.
- Set refrigerator temperatures between 37 and 40 degrees (F). Clean the coils. Keep the refrigerator stocked; it takes more energy to cool an empty refrigerator.
- Consider replacing your older-model refrigerator, especially if older than 10 years. Older models can often use over three times the energy of newer models.
- Wash full loads of dishes and air dry.
- When washing clothes, use warm or cold water and rinse with cold. Air dry clothes, but not indoors as this creates unwanted mold and moisture problems.
- Always use the bathroom or kitchen exhaust fans while showering or cooking and baking to avoid potential moisture problems.
