How to Save Energy

1. Buy energy efficient appliances – including a tankless water heater system!
2. Use cold water in your laundry whenever possible and wash full loads.
3. Fix leaky faucets that waste water and energy. One drip per second can cost up to 40 dollars a year in energy losses!
4. Wash full loads in the dishwasher and use the economy wash feature.
5. Install low flow showerheads and flow-restricted faucets where possible.
6. Use cold water instead of hot to soak pots and pans which require scouring.
7. Service your furnace every year and make sure to replace your furnace filter every 1 or 2 months.
8. Install a programmable thermostat and set it to a lower temperature at night and when nobody is home.
9. Outside, apply weather-strip to your windows, exterior doors and garage doors.
10. Inside, apply sealant or caulk around windows, doorframes, sills and joints.
11. If you have an unfinished basement or crawlspace, insulate the walls.
12. Use your blinds and drapes to block out the sun in the summer and to let it in when it’s cold outside.
13. In the winter, use plastic window covers to prevent lost heat.
14. Plug gaps around vents, pipes, ducts and fans that go from heated to unheated spaces.
15. If you have a garage, don’t heat it all the time – only when you’re about to use it.
