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
