More Ways to Save

• Look around your home, and see what you might be able to turn off or unplug - cell phone chargers, TVs, and lights when you leave a room.
• Keep heating system filters clean and air vents clear of any obstructions.
• Set the thermostat to the lowest comfortable temperature. Moving the thermostat down one degree can mean as much as a 3 percent reduction in your electric bill.
• Open blinds/drapes on the sunny side of the house during the day, and close them again at night.
• Replace standard incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs - these bulbs will save up to 75 percent in lighting energy, last up to 10 times longer, and produce more light.
• Wash and rinse full loads of clothes in the coolest water possible.
• Be sure to stop the dryer as soon as clothes are dry, or use the moisture sensor control to automatically shut off the dryer. Overdrying wastes energy and sets in wrinkles.
• Dry loads of clothes one right after another - you'll use less energy because the dryer is already heated.
• Keep the temperature in your refrigerator between 36 and 40 degrees and the freezer temperature between 0 and 5 degrees. Use a refrigerator/freezer thermometer to check the settings.
