提示 to Help You Save Energy at 首页

调节恒温器

Adjust up in the summer and shut off when not in use. Even a few degrees can significantly reduce air conditioning costs. In the summer, set your air conditioner to 78 degrees or higher. 将空调温度从72度调到78度可以节省高达12%的制冷费用. Gain remote control and get a rebate on a smart programmable thermostat.

Block direct sunlight in the summer

关闭窗帘或用遮阳纱窗遮挡外露的窗户, 反思的电影, 遮雨篷或 树.

断电

Turn off or set office equipment to power down when not in use. 晚上和周末关掉一台电脑和显示器，一年可以节省80美元. 设置电脑, 显示器和复印机在不使用时使用睡眠模式可以帮助节省高达50%的能源成本. Use power strips or unplug electronics such as DVRs, game consoles and TVs that draw power even when switched off.

Lower the thermostat on your water heater

120° F is sufficient for most common uses. A 10° F reduction can save up to five percent on water heating costs. This only affects gas usage, unless your water heater is electric.

在正确的设备上流式传输

当流式传输内容时, 选择对观看人数有意义的最小设备. 游戏机的耗电量是平板电脑或笔记本电脑的10倍.

K保持炉子清洁

Check furnace filters once a month and replace them regularly. 肮脏的空气过滤器会增加您的能源成本，并导致设备出现问题.

升级你的照明

还有LED灯泡, use ENERGY STAR light fixtures, which use less energy and produce less heat.

使用小家电

不要用烤箱，用微波炉、烤面包机或慢炖锅等小家电. They use less energy and won’t add much heat to your home.

保持冰箱满

A full fridge works more efficient than an empty one. Pack cold items together to keep your fridge and freezer cool. 考虑储存一些应急用水，以保持冰箱里的水充足.

最大化使用洗碗机

满载运行，并考虑关闭干燥循环，让你的盘子风干.

点燃烤架

Take the heat out of your kitchen by cooking outside. 这也是一个很好的借口，让你的家人出去，远离电子产品.

从空调切换到风扇

如果你能舒适地使用风扇而不是空调，那就会有很大的不同. 使用便携式或吊扇在一个房间内循环空气每小时的成本约为4美分. 用中央空调给整个房子降温每小时大约要花1到2美元.

定期更换空调过滤网

清洁或更换中央空调的过滤器，使其更有效地运行.

寻找漏气处

在通风良好的门窗上安装防雨条和嵌缝，以保持空调空气进入，并节省高达5%的冷却成本.

使用发光二极管 

Replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs (light-emitting diodes), which provide the same amount of light, use up to 75 percent less energy and can last up to 10 times longer.

升级你的泳池泵

当你切换到节能，变速泳池泵过滤您的游泳池更少.

使用游泳池或水疗中心的盖子

Covers can reduce heat loss by up to 90%.

安装占用传感器

这些廉价的设备可以减少高达40%的照明成本.
