Low Cost and No Cost Energy Saving Tips

HomeTeam offers these simple tips that could help decrease energy costs:

• Set your thermostat comfortably low in the winter.

• Install a programmable thermostat that is compatible with your heating system.

• Use compact fluorescent light bulbs in the most commonly used rooms.

• Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.

• Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use.

• Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use (TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power).

• Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F.

• Take short showers instead of baths.

• Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.
