Are you "wattsmart?" If not, you might want to think about it because it could win you $10,000 in energy-efficient upgrades for your home.
But you don't have to win to make your home more efficient.
Here are a few simple ways to make a difference at your home right now:
- Lighting - Use new Energy Star qualified LED bulbs.
- Appliances - Keep refridgerator coils clean, set refrigerator at 37F-40F and freezer to 0F or efficiency, upgrade to Energy Star qualified appliances.
- Cooling and Heating - Clean/replace AC filters, tune up your AC tuned or consider evaporative cooling, install energy-efficient shower heads, set water heaters to 120F.
- Gadgets - Unplug them. They draw power when you’re not using them. Smart power strips or timers can make it easy to do it.
