CEILING FAN
- Use ceiling fans for cooling.
- Improve efficiency in winter by using ceiling fans
set on reverse to re-circulate heat that would otherwise
build up near the ceiling.
THERMOSTAT
- Lower your thermostat at night and use more blankets
in winter. However, if you have a heat pump system, you'll
save more on energy costs if you keep the thermostat on
a comfortable setting day and night.
- Set your thermostat to 78°F or more during the summer.
Savings: 10-20% of cooling costs.
- Consider installing a programmable thermostat that will automatically coordinate indoor climates with your daily and weekly patterns.
LIGHTS
- Consider using solid-state dimmers with your incandescent
lights. When you finish using a reading or work light,
you can dim it for general room illumination.
- Choose light-colored, translucent lampshades.
