Energy Saving Tips

• Here are a few good ways to save energy around your home:
• Use compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs as opposed to traditional bulbs
• Use the energy saving modes on your computer when performance isn't demanded
• Put your computer to sleep or turn it off when not in use
• Open windows at night to let cooler air instead of using AC
• Replace night light bulbs with LED bulbs

• Wash all clothes in cool water, reduces the load on the hot water heater
• Turn down brightness on TVs and Monitors
• Completely turn off game systems instead of using standby modes
• Make sure home theater components are shut off when not in use
• Use a toaster oven instead of a traditional oven when making small quantities
• Use blinds and curtains to block out the sun in the summer, and open them to let the warmth in in the winter

These are just a FEW tips of the many out there to help save some energy and cut costs around the home. Stay tuned, there will be more to come in the future!
