Make the switch to LEDs.

One of the simplest ways you can save energy is by making sure your home has energy efficient lighting! LEDs last up to 10 times longer than a traditional incandescent lightbulb, plus, you can save over $50 per bulb over its lifetime. 

Learn home heating and cooling tips.

Did you know that home heating and cooling can account for almost 64% of your yearly energy use? If you have a heat pump, the most efficient way to use it is to set it and forget it. In the summer, use cool mode and pick the highest comfortable temperature. To save even more, opt for fan mode instead.

Save energy this summer.

If you can, opt to use a fan instead of an AC unit. If you are using a ceiling fan, make sure it is spinning counter-clockwise to push air downward. Keep your curtains closed during the warmest parts of the day to prevent your home from heating up.
