Resolve to Save Energy

Five Simple steps to become more energy efficient

	1. Use a programmable thermostat with your air conditioner. Or turn up the temperature setting on your standard thermostat while you are gone. Even a few hours can make a difference in your utility bill.
	2. Replace all your light bulbs with compact fluorescent lighting. If you live in a 2000 sq. ft. home, in a year’s time, you could save 1500 kWh and $200! These bulbs can last 3-5 years!
	3. Inspect your duct system – cool your home not your attic. Contact your local utility for information about inspection and duct repairs.
	4. Check your attic insulation. Adding some could help on cooling costs. Also check you door’s weather stripping.
	5. Turn it off. Whether it’s turning off lights, or shutting down your computer when it’s not in use, over time, these small efforts can save you big energy dollars.
