Easy Green Tips #2
Here’s four more tips showing you it really can be easy going green:
5. Adjust your home’s thermostat to be lower in winter and higher in summer. Learn how to heat and cool your home simply by venting windows at certain times of the day and when it’s cold, bundle up and put on your sweat pants!
6. Clean and replace dirty air filters in your home’s heating and cooling system. A dirty air filter can use 5-percent more energy while your a/c unit is running.
7. Replace the standard incandescent light bulbs in your home with the new compact fluorescent bulbs.
8. Help your water heater to be even more efficient by wrapping it with an insulating blanket specifically designed to go around your water heater.
