Get Ready For Summer

The average homeowner spends about $1,900 a year on energy costs.  You can lower your energy bills and help save the environment at the same time!

As summer nears, here are some simple energy-saving tips to trim your utility bills:

• Set your thermostat to 78 degrees when you are home and 85 degrees when you are away.

• Do your laundry efficiently by using the cold or warm water setting. Always use cold water to rinse clothes.

• Replace air conditioner filters. Dirty filters restrict airflow and can cause the system to run longer, increasing energy use. Replace filters monthly for maximum benefit.

• Unplug electronic devices and chargers when they aren't in use. Most new electronics use electricity even when switched "off."
