Romance and Energy Savings: A Valentine’s Day Win-Win

02-Romance-and-Energy-Savings.jpg

Got romance on your mind this Valentine’s Day? Why not save some energy while cozying up with your partner?

A few tips:

Turn off the TV. Sure, watching a romantic comedy is a great way to spend time together on a day designed for couples. Even better: sitting close, talking and truly engaging with one another. As long as you’ve got the TV turned off, go ahead and unplug it to save even more energy.

Inspect your heating system. If you didn’t get around to calling a tech for a fall tuneup, it’s not too late. Make sure your stay-at-home Valentine’s Day date stays cozy. A system checkup can stop problems before the heat shuts off and spoils the warm feelings that this special day brings.

Dim the lights. It used to be that only energy-hogging incandescent lightbulbs worked with a dimmer switch. But now even LED lights can be dimmable. Dimming the lights not only saves energy but also can extend the life of bulbs and create a romantic setting for candlelight.
