Saving energy lowers your monthly bills and is better for the planet. These small habits add up fast.

Adjust the thermostat

A few degrees warmer in summer and cooler in winter can make a noticeable difference. A programmable schedule makes it automatic.

Switch to LED bulbs

LEDs use far less energy than older bulbs and last for years.

Unplug what you are not using

Chargers and electronics draw power even when idle. A smart power strip turns them off with one switch.

Run full loads

Wait until the dishwasher and washer are full, and use cold water for laundry whenever you can.

Use your blinds

Close blinds on hot afternoons and open them on sunny winter days to help your home stay comfortable.
