More Energy Conservation Tips During the Winter

Air Conditioning Heating & Cooling

• Make sure all windows and doors are closed during off hours, and only open when necessary during open hours.
• Consider using a heat recovery system, which can save up to 60%-70% of lost heat through your ventilation system through air-to-air exchange system.
• Use sunlight instead of turning on the heat, if all possible.

In General

• During winter, lower your thermostat to 68 degrees or lower.
• Replace incandescent with energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs.
• Use dimmers on existing incandescent bulbs.
• Turn off TVs and lights when you leave the room or aren't using them.
• Unplug appliances that aren't being used on a daily basis.
• Make sure your home is properly insulated to match standards based on your region, weather and construction design.
