Fast and Free Energy Saving Tips

• Turn down your thermostat.
• Eliminate wasted energy. Turn off lights in unoccupied rooms and unplug unused electronics.
• Turn off kitchen and bath-ventilating fans after they’ve done their job.
• Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is burning to prevent your furnace-heated air from going up the chimney.
• Reduce hot water temperature and shower time. Set your water heater to the “normal” setting or 120° and keep showers as short as possible.
