Why Keep it Golden?
How to Save Energy
Check out these tips to see what action you can take this season or year round.
Space to Vent
Move furniture away from vents. Obstructing vents blocks heat, wastes energy and may even pose a fire hazard.
Cover the Floor
Rugs and carpeting aid with heat retention, and they’re more comfortable on bare feet.
Lower the Heat
Switch the thermostat to 68ºF or lower to stay comfortable and save energy.
Power to the Strip
Using a power strip for electronic equipment, will help reduce phantom loads. Remember to turn the strip off when you’re not using it.
Adjust Your
Water Heater
Turn your water heater down to 120ºF to save energy.
Unplug the Charger
Leaving charged smartphones and laptops plugged in wastes energy and can damage the battery.
