Ways to Save

Your home can use as much energy during freezing temps as it does on a hot summer’s day. To stay cozy and save energy, try these tips:

• Wherever you set your thermostat, lowering it 2-4° can help you use up to 10-20% less energy. ¹
• Rotate your ceiling fans clockwise to circulate warm air around the room and keep you cozy. Look for a directional switch on the fan’s base.
