Take action now!
Here’s one idea.
Tune Up The Heat
If each household lowered its average heating temperature by 6 degrees Farenheit over a 24 hour period, we’d save the energy of 500,000 barrels of oil every day.
If your household is like most households, 40% of the energy you use is for heat. Inefficient heating systems can waste 30-50% of the energy they generate.
Test, clean, and adjust your heating system annually for an average of 5% savings.
For Forced Air systems insulate ducts. For Electric systems a heat pump can reduce your bill up to 40%. For Hot Water systems put reflectors behind your radiators.
Save energy, save money, save the planet.
Save now. Then help your friends save. Imagine how much we’ll all save!
