Simple Savings

There are many little things you can do to help keep your energy costs down.

•Make sure the registers and vents for your heating and cooling system aren't obstructed by furniture or other objects.
•Clean or replace the air filter in your heating/cooling system regularly (monthly in most cases) to help it run efficiently.
•Install a programmable thermostat to automatically coordinate indoor climates with daily and weekend patterns.
•Keep the lint trap and vent hose on your clothes dryer clean. Wash clothes in cold water when possible, and do laundry in large loads.
•Do full loads when using the dishwasher.
•Use dimmers, timers and motion detectors on indoor and outdoor lighting.
•Dress in layers when it's cool and throw an extra blanket on the bed so you can turn the thermostat down a few more degrees. When it's cool, set your thermostat at the lowest setting that still feels comfortable. Each degree above 68 degrees adds about 5 percent to your heating bill.
