Looking to save some money this spring?  With a solid energy saving strategy, you can keep your home cool in warm months and reduce your hot water use without breaking the bank.  Here are a few simple and inexpensive ways for homeowners to cut down on energy costs.

Spring Energy Saving Tips:
  • Fix Leaks – Reduce your hot water use by repairing leaks in your faucets, showerheads, and pipes.  A leak of one drip per second can cost $1 per month.
  • Low-Flow Showerheads – Select a showerhead with a flow rate of less than 2.5 gpm.  Both aerating and laminar-flow showerheads are great for water-efficiency.
  • Low-Flow Faucets – Aerators are inexpensive to replace and they can be an extremely cost-effective water conservation method. 
  • Energy-Efficient Dishwashers – Washing dishes by hand several times a day can be more expensive than operating an energy-efficient dishwasher. 
  • Energy-Efficient Clothes Washers – Reduce energy costs by using cold or warm water for your laundry loads.  Especially for rinsing!  An inefficient washer will cost up to three times as much to operate as a new, efficient one.  They also offer savings when drying clothes.
