Energy Saving Resources
Electronics
Plug your TV, computers, and video games into a smart power strip.
Unplug
Unplug — Check around the house to see if devices are unnecessarily plugged in. Electronics and appliances are still drawing power even when they are off.
Insulation
Insulate your attic — Attics can be great sources of heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Payback will vary depending on your region, but you’ll usually recover the cost within 2 years.
Weatherization
Weatherizing your home means sealing where air can infiltrate, such as doors, windowns, and places where pipes enter the home.
Save Water
Install high-efficiency showerheads
Windows
Replace single-pane windows — Upgrading to more energy efficient windows can help control temperature and air infiltration in your home.
Thermostats
Programmable thermostats adjust the temperature in winter and in summer as well as during unoccupied hours.
Reduce Demand
Delay the dishwasher to run at midnight outside of peak hours
Save Electricity
Let the sunlight in to warm your home without using electricity

HVAC System
Maintain Your HVAC System —
Your heating and cooling system equipment runs best when properly maintained. Change your filters on a regular basis. Having your HVAC system serviced on an annual basis will ensure that your system is not costing you more than it should, as well as increasing the life of the system.
