Lower the temperature on your water heater to the warm setting (120°F).
Set your fridge to 38-42°F and your freezer to 0-5°F.
Lower blinds to avoid excess heating during the summer. Open blinds on sunny days during the winter to add heat.
Adjust your thermostat a few degrees higher in the summer (78-80°F)
and a few degrees lower in the winter (68-70°F). When you are asleep or
away from home, set your thermostat 7-10°F higher in the summer and
lower in the winter. You can save 10% on your heating and cooling costs a year if done 8 hours a day.
Don’t let phantom loads
drain your wallet! Some devices use power whenever they are plugged in,
even if they’re turned off or not being used. Unplug devices that
aren’t in use, or plug devices into a power strip that can be switched
off. These changes can save up to 12% off your electricity bill each year.
