Conservation/Environment Five Simple Steps

Here are five simple steps to reduce energy use at home:

• Change five lights. Replace your five most frequently used lights or the bulbs in them with ones that have earned the Energy Star rating.
• Look for ENERGY STAR qualified products. They're available in more than 40 product categories, including lighting and home appliances.
• Heat and cool smartly. Have your heating and cooling equipment serviced annually and remember to replace air filters regularly. Use a programmable thermostat, and when it’s time to replace old equipment, choose an Energy Star qualified model.
• Seal up your home. Seal air leaks, add insulation and choose Energy Star qualified windows.
• Tell family and friends. Help spread the word that energy efficiency is good for your home and good for our environment.
