| 5. Use cold water when you wash clothes. Hot water should only be used for heavily soiled laundry. 6. If you have more than one load of clothes to dry, try to do each load immediately after the one before to use the heat left over from the previous cycle and increase the efficiency of the dryer. 7. Leaky faucets can add to your hot water bill so repair them as soon as possible. The constant drip wastes money and energy. 8. Cook in the microwave; a microwave oven is an energy efficient alternative to a conventional oven. It cooks food more quickly and it uses 70-80% less electricity than a regular oven. 9. Keep in mind that insulation and sealing air leaks will help your energy performance in the summertime by keeping it cooler inside. 10. Use fans to help cool instead of cranking the thermostat down on your air conditioner. |

Check temperature settings on your refrigerator and freezer. Your refrigerator should be 36-38 degrees and the freezer should have a temperature of 0-5 degrees. |
