DID YOU KNOW?
~~ A typical household can save as much as 10% per year on heating and cooling by turning the thermostat down 7-10 degrees for 8 hours a day in fall and winter (up in spring and summer).
~~ If your hot water tank is warm to the touch, consider insulating it to save 7-16% annually in water heating costs.
~~ Many consumer electronics continue to draw power even when they are switched off which could add 10% to your monthly utility bill. Switch to advanced power strips that prevent electronics from drawing power when not in use.
