A Few More Energy Saving Tips

  • Line dry clothes whenever possible, this saves a lot of electricity and gas depending on your drier
  • Use drier balls, they help clothes dry faster, reduce static and make clothes fluffier
  • Unplug chargers when not in use
  • Turn of power strips when not in use
  • Use natural light as much as possible
  • Use water saver shower head
  • Reuse water to water plants
  • Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposables
  • Spend time in rooms with others after dark, reduces light used
  • Use programmable thermostats. Setting it to away mode can make a big difference, and the best part is, since you're away, you'll never feel a difference except in your bill
  • Window insulation kits are a cheap and easy way to cut heating costs in the winter
  • Draft stoppers are a simple device that you put at the bottom of your doors to keep cold air out, and heat in. Old towel and rugs rolled up can be used for the same purpose, and don't cost anything!
  • Purchase energy efficient electronics and appliances
