Home Energy Conservation Checklist
This checklist outlines actions that conserve energy
within homes:
Turn down the temperature of your water heater to
the warm setting (120˚F).
Survey your incandescent lights for opportunities to
replace them with compact fluorescent lights.
Turn off lights in unoccupied rooms.
Turn off your computer monitor when not in use for
more than 20 minutes, and turn off both the CPU and
monitor if you’re not going to use your computer for
more than 2 hours.
Unplug equipment that drains energy when not in use
(i.e. cell phone chargers, fans, coffeemakers, desktop
printers, radios, etc.).
During winter, open curtains on your south-facing
windows during the day to allow sunlight to naturally
heat your home, and close them at night to reduce the
chill.
Clean or replace filters in your furnace, air condition-
er, and heat pump.
Close the damper when the fireplace is not being
used.
Keep the thermostat at the lowest comfortable setting
during winter.
Keep the thermostat at the highest comfortable set-
ting during the summer.
Make sure no obstacles, such as furniture, are block-
ing heating or cooling outlets.
Use the dishwsher, washing machine and dryer for
full loads.
Seal up the largest air leaks in your house.
