Ways to Become More Energy Efficient
- Unplug vampire appliances that drain energy even when they’re not being used. Take advantage of power strips with an on/off switch or smart power strips to control the energy usage of multiple devices at once.
- Replace incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs, which use 70-90% less energy.
- Install more insulation and seal your doors, windows, and air ducts to control your home’s temperature.
- Upgrade appliances that are 15 years old or older to energy-efficient models. When evaluating your choices, look for ENERGY STAR® certified models for air conditioners, stoves, refrigerators, and water heaters.
- Replace your air filters regularly. Clogged filters cause your heating or cooling system to work harder and waste energy.
- Use fans instead of an air conditioner or run your air conditioner at a higher temperature paired with a fan to maintain the same level of comfort. Fans use only a fraction of the energy compared to air conditioners.
- See if you qualify for free home energy upgrades, such as attic insulation, gas furnace replacement, and water heater replacement through our Home Energy Savings Program.
