• Open your refrigerator door as seldom as possible. 
  • When washing clothes, wash a full load and use cold water whenever possible. 
  • Hang your clothes to dry when possible to save energy. 
  • Wait until you have a full load to run the dishwasher and let your dishes air dry. 
  • Set your water heater temperature to 120-125 degrees and install a timer that shuts off the unit during times you don’t need hot water. 
  • Use a slow cooker or outdoor grill in summer months to keep your kitchen cooler. 
  • Move lamps, TVs and other appliances away from your thermostat. The heat they generate can cause the AC to run longer.
