Here are a few tips to spring into energy savings:
-
Give your A/C some TLC.
Have your A/C unit professionally serviced now to ensure it’s running efficiently for spring and summer.
-
Let in the fresh air.
On warm, mild days open the windows to enjoy a cool breeze and the natural light before the summer heat arrives.
-
Make sure your ceiling fan is going in the right direction.
Make sure your ceiling fans are running counterclockwise to push cool air downward.
-
Fire up the grill.
Rather than heat up the kitchen by using your oven to cook, head outside to grill!
-
A bright idea.
Replace incandescent light bulbs with more efficient, LED ones.
-
Filter Energy Savings.
Regularly change filters to maintain your cooling systems and save energy.
- Don’t Tank Energy Savings.
The water heater is typically the third-highest energy expense in the home. Lowering the temperature on the water heater can help save on energy expenses.
- Focus on the Fridge.
As part of your spring-cleaning routine, make sure your refrigerator’s condenser coils are clean and air can circulate freely. When dust and pet hair build up on the coils, the motor works harder and uses more energy.
