Energy Tips

Here are some of the other ways to be more energy efficient this spring. Take a look:

1. Manage your thermostat. Several people mentioned setting the thermostat to between 78 and 82. Some also suggested pushing it a few degrees warmer when out of the house for extended periods of time.

2. Utilize ceiling fans. Ceiling fans produce a "wind chill" effect making the room feel cooler. This especially works when first coming inside from the sweltering sun!

3. Install efficient lighting. Many poll respondents noted that they are replacing frequently used lights with CFL bulbs and even the LED lights; They use less energy and last a lot longer than traditional bulbs.

4. Use a clothesline or a drying rack rather than a dryer. Many people mentioned using the renewable energy from the sun by line-drying clothes and linens. Here's a tip: Soften up line-dried laundry with a quick tumble in the dryer on the "no heat" setting.

5. Change AC air filters at least once a month. Not only will your AC run more efficiently, but also clean filters can help lessen the affects of the springtime allergies that some respondents mentioned.
