Energy Saving Ideas At No Cost To You

1. Lower the indoor temperature a few degrees in winter. Set it even
    lower to about 50 degrees when you on vacation. You'll save an
    average of two percent per degree on your electrical bill.

2. Close off unused rooms and lower the temperature setting your thermostat
    60 degrees of or adjusting the register. You'll save up to $60 per year.

3. Clean your furnace's fan with a soft brush and a vacuum often.

4. Open Shades and blinds to let sunlight during the day and close them
   to reduce heat loss at night. For cooling, close them during the day.

5. Fill clothes washers and dishwasher for more efficient energy use, rather
    than cleaning partial loads.

6. Skip the dishwasher drying cycle and cut 50% of energy use per cycle.

7. Wash clothes in cool water rather than hot water. 90% of total amount
    of energy used goes into heating the water and 10% into operating the
    actual appliance.

8. Clean clothes washer and dryer lint screens after every use.

9. Close fireplace damper when the fireplace isn't in use. If it's never used,
    insulate the flue.

10. Turn off  room air conditioners when you leave for about an hour or more.
     You could quickly cool the room later.
