Save energy by…
- Seal openings and cracks around windows and doors.. we often think this is only an issue in winter but the same thing can happen in warmer weather. Whenever there is a change from hot to cold there can be energy waste. If the warm air enters your home through cracks your A/C will have to work harder to cool the room…

- Run fans only when you are in the room… Fans create a wind chill factor and thus only cool you down. Fans only help while you are in the room otherwise its a waste of electricity.
- As we transition to warmer weather its okay to lower the water temperature to 120 F in your water heater… this helps you save money. (consult with a professional before making such changes)
