Energy Conservation

Did you know that heating and cooling account for about half of every American home utility bill, and produce combined atmospheric emissions of more than 150 million tons of carbon dioxide a year?  (Source:  Department of Energy)

The good news is that there are plenty of ways to reduce your energy use, including many that are easy and inexpensive.  Some basic recommendations include:

  • Set your thermostat lower in the winter and higher in the summer.  On average, you'll save about 121 pounds of carbon dioxide each year for every degree you adjust your thermostat.
  • Use a programmable thermostat to reduce the temperature when people are away from home or sleeping.  A programmable thermostat can save you $150 a year in energy costs.
  • Get the most out of your heating/cooling system by using deflectors and/or reflectors to direct the heated/cooled air to open areas.
  • Insulate your water heater and water pipes.
