WAYS TO CONSERVE ENERGY IN YOUR HOME

1. Clean or replace air filters on your air conditioning unit at least once a month. If you have central air conditioning, do not close vents in unused rooms.
2. Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120. Wrap your water heater in an insulated blanket.
3. Turn down or shut off your water heater when you will be away for extended periods.
4. Turn off unneeded lights even when leaving a room for a short time.
5. Set your refrigerator temperature at 36 to 38 and your freezer at 0 to 5 .
6. When using an oven, minimize door opening while it is in use; it reduces oven temperature by 25 to 30 every time you open the door.
7. Clean the lint filter in your dryer after every load so that it uses less energy.
8. Unplug seldom used appliances.
