Lamp

Brighten things up for less

Use LED bulbs in track, recessed or outdoor fixtures and cut lighting energy use by up to 75%.

Window

Stay cozy all winter

Seal drafty windows with a plastic film kit to keep the heat in and the cold out.

Showerhead

Save money in the shower

Switch to a low-flow showerhead. It’s inexpensive, easy to install and lowers both water and heating costs.

Fridge

Help your fridge work smarter

Vacuum behind it to keep air flowing and your energy costs down.

Thermostat

Lower your heating bills

Set your thermostat to 68°F when you’re home in winter, and even lower when you’re asleep or away.

Dishwasher

Cut kitchen energy costs

Let dishes air dry instead of running the heated cycle. Just crack the door and save on every load.

Thin Lamp

Light only where you need it

Try lamps or under-cabinet lights instead of lighting the whole room.

Couch

Get more out of your vents

Leave a foot of space around them and keep them dust-free so warm air flows freely.
