Energy Conservation Tips

Winter Energy Conservation Tips

Set your thermostat at 68° or lower when you're home. Every degree below 68° can save you money on your heating bills.
Wear layered clothing and thick socks to keep warm.
At bedtime, lower your thermostat and add extra blankets.
Close garage doors, cover foundation vents, and close off vents and doors to seldom-used rooms.
Keep curtains and blinds closed at night and on cloudy days; open curtains on sunny days for warmth.
Place rolled-up towels inside against bottom of exterior doors and window sills to block wintry drafts.
Adjust your water heater temperature to 120° or "warm." It still provides hot water and avoids scalding. You can lower it when not in use, too.
