Energy Saving Tips

Here are some energy-saving tips to keep in mind:

• Unplug seldom-used appliances
• Set computers to sleep and hibernate
• Set the refrigerator temperature to between 38-42 degrees Fahrenheit; the freezer should be set between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit
• Turn off lights when not in use
• Check to make sure that air is not leaking around windows and doors. Caulk and weather-strip where necessary
• Swap out standard light bulbs for more energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs
• Bundle up or insulate your water heater if it is located in an unheated part of your home
