$$$$$ Save Big Money In your Own Home!!!

Energy-Saving Tips For Your Home the Entire Year!!!



  • Use a fan to help your air conditioner spread cooled air more effectively through your home without greatly increasing energy use.

  • Save on air conditioning by closing supply vents in unused rooms. (Note: If you have a heat pump, vents should be left open.)

  • Always wash full load of clothes or adjust the water level for smaller loads. My laundry day is Sunday!

  • Draw shades or drapes to block sunlight during the hottest part of the day.

  • When you’ll be away from home for more than four hours, raise the thermostat 5-10 degrees or more. Install a programmable thermostat and set it to adjust the temperature throughout the day.

  • For bathrooms, hallways or bedrooms consider installing LED night lights equipped with photo sensors to keep them off during daylight hours.

  • Don’t let kitchen or bathroom exhaust fans run longer than necessary.

  • Use the energy-saving feature on computers, monitors, printers, copiers and other business equipment. Turn them off at the end of the day.

  • Lower your water heater to the optimal temperature of 120–125 degrees.

  • Clean or replace furnace/air-conditioning filters every routinely.

  • Dry only full loads of laundry and keep the dryer’s lint filter clean so it operates at maximum efficiency.

  • Create less heat in your home by drying clothes in the early morning or later in the evening.

  • Take showers instead of baths to save water. Use cooler water to save energy.

  • Make sure drapes and furniture aren’t blocking the air supply vents in your home.

  • Use an automatic clothes-drying cycle instead of a timed cycle. Put in the next load quickly to make use of leftover heat.

  • Fill a dishpan with rinse water instead of letting the faucet run while you do dishes by hand. We all are guilty of this, lol.



  • I promise you, these hot tips work, and I have shared them with many friends and family reducing my own ulitlies by 30%.

     I hope to get better at it.....Good luck and let's Save, Save, Save!!
