Stereo:
Remember to turn off your stereo when you leave your room.
| |
 |
 |
Window:
When it is sunny outside during the winter, open your window coverings to let the sunshine in to help warm up your house.
| |
|
 |
Video Game:
Did you know that even when you are not playing your video game it still uses energy if it is plugged in?
| |
|
 |
Faucet:
Leaky faucets waste both water and energy. By installing aerators on your faucet you will help save energy by reducing the amount of water that is heated by your hot water heater.
| |
|
 |
Shower:
Taking cooler, shorter showers saves energy by reducing the amount of water your hot water heater has to warm up.

|
 |
Fireplace:
Close the chimney flue during the winter to your fireplace so that warm air doesn’t escape; and open your chimney flue in the summer so the warm air can get out.
| |
|
 |
Ceiling Fan:
Ceiling fans can reduce the amount of air conditioning that your house needs during the summer; and during the winter ceiling fans can help push hot air down so you don’t have to use your heater as much.
| |
|
 |
Door:
Close doors to rooms that are not in use and shut the vent in the room so that energy is not used to heat or cool a room that nobody is using.
| |
|
 |
Dryer:
Don’t over dry your clothes and remember to clean the lint screen so that your dryer will use less energy.
| |
|
 |
Oven:
Don’t open the oven often when you are cooking. Every time you open the oven door heat escapes and the oven has to use more energy to heat up again.
| |
|
 |
Stove:
If you smell gas near your stove remember to go outside right away and tell an adult that the gas is leaking.
| |
|
 |
Furnace:
If you dress a little warmer in the winter you won’t have to turn your heater on as high.
