QUICK WAYS TO SAVE ENERGY AT HOME
Heating and Cooling
- Draw your shades or blinds to keep rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
- Run ceiling fans counter-clockwise in the summer to circulate cooler, conditioned air. In the winter, run fans clockwise to push warm air down into the room.

Lighting
- Switch to LEDs, especially ENERGY STAR®-qualified products, which typically use 70-90% less energy and last 15 times longer than traditional bulbs. Walk through your home and decide which lights you use most often—replace those first.
- Always turn off lights when you leave a room, even if you'll only be gone for a moment.

In the Kitchen
- Put a lid on pots and pans when cooking to heat up food faster and save energy.
- Opening the door of your oven can lower the cooking temperature by as much as 25 degrees, so look through the window instead.
- Rinse dishes in cool water, so you're not wasting hot water that costs money to heat.
- Fix your leaky faucets (not just in the kitchen). A leaky faucet wastes gallons of water in a short period of time, and it’s very costly for hot water leaks.

Laundry Room Savings
- Always wash full loads of clothes to maximize water use and savings.
- Take care of your dryer to help it run efficiently—clean the exhaust vent and lint trap.
