With spring in the air - and water and electric usage increasing - we’re sharing some of our top conservation tips. Start saving now—try these ideas to conserve water and electricity around your home, indoors and out, and cut your costs.
Move to LED Bulbs
Although a bit more expensive to purchase, LED light bulbs last longer and use substantially less energy for long-term savings.
Seal Leaks
Check for drafts around windows and doors; add weatherstripping and caulk as needed to keep warm (or cold!) air inside your home.
Unplug Unused Electronics
Even when not in use, electronic devices consume energy. This includes small appliances and even mobile phone chargers!
Adjust Thermostats
Adjusting the temperature setting on your thermostat at night and while you are out of the house can generate significant energy (and money) savings.
Run Full Loads
Wait until you have a full load of dishes before running your dishwasher. The same applies to your washing machine – wait for a full load of laundry and save over time.
Take Showers
Most shower sessions use only 10 to 25 gallons of water while a bath can use anywhere from 50 to 75 gallons!
Fix Leaks
Check around your home for leaky faucets - and toilets - regularly. Fix those leaks to avoid wasted water!
Turn Off the Tap
If you aren’t actively using water, turn it off! Whether you are brushing your teeth or shaving, that water flow can add up quickly.
