Stay cool with these power saving tips

Wash smarter. Try using the Energy Saver mode on your clothes washer and dishwasher, and set your water heater to 120 degrees for the best mix of savings and safety.

Don’t cool unused rooms. If you have baseboard, wall units or other in-room systems, turn the systems down low when unoccupied to save energy and close the doors.

Turn off computers and other electronics when they're not in use. Most default settings aren't the most energy efficient, so adjusting them can help you save more.

Be sure to unplug energy "vampires" such as phone chargers and other gadgets when you’re finished with them so they don't suck energy when not in use.

Practice thermostat control to save on your cooling bill. In summer, try setting it to 75 to 78 degrees to save on air conditioning.

Use window coverings to save electricity.  In the summer, close curtains or blinds to block out sunlight and reduce the need for room cooling.
