make your new year more energy efficient
use these simple, low-cost tips to save energy in 2024 and beyond.
- adjust the thermostat to save energy at night or when no one is home. smart, programmable models make it easy by automatically adjusting temperatures while providing you with remote control.
- install energy-efficient led bulbs throughout your home. they use 75% less energy than conventional bulbs and last longer. also, hit the off switch when you’re the last to leave a room.
- plug electronic devices into smart plugs or advanced power strips. they automatically cut power to devices when they’re not in use.
- install watersense®-labeled low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators. they use less water while still providing a comfortable flow. remember to take shorter showers and turn off the tap.
- run your dishwasher and laundry only when you have a full load. if your appliances are older or in need of repair, replace them with energy star®-certified products, which use less energy than standard models.
