- Wash full loads of clothes when possible. When smaller loads are necessary, use less water.
- Use microwaves and toaster ovens to cook or warm leftovers. You’ll use less energy than cooking with a conventional oven.
- Set your refrigerator temperature between 30 and 42°F. Use the power-save switch if you have one.
- Repair refrigerator door seals if you feel cold air around the closed door or if moisture is collecting.
- Replace a refrigerator bought in 1990 with an ENERGY STAR®-qualified model – energy-efficient models cost less to operate than older refrigerators.
- Dust your fridge the next time you dust your house. Check the coils behind the refrigerator and use coil vacuums or dusters to clean it off and keep costs down.
- Keep the oven door closed while cooking – the temperature can drop by as many as 25 degrees each time you open the oven door.
- Keep your freezer full – it uses less energy than an empty one. For maximum savings, consider filling your freezer with gallon containers of water.
- Choose energy-efficient appliances. They don’t just save you money, but they’re good for the environment because they use less energy.
- Replace your refrigerator. Look for the yellow EnergyGuide® label to compare features. Choose models with improved insulation and power-saving switches.
