Home Energy Conservation Checklist

This checklist outlines actions that conserve energy

within homes:

Turn down the temperature of your water heater to

the warm setting (120˚F).

Survey your incandescent lights for opportunities to

replace them with compact fluorescent lights.

Turn off lights in unoccupied rooms.

Turn off your computer monitor when not in use for

more than 20 minutes, and turn off both the CPU and

monitor if you’re not going to use your computer for

more than 2 hours.

Unplug equipment that drains energy when not in use

(i.e. cell phone chargers, fans, coffeemakers, desktop

printers, radios, etc.).

During winter, open curtains on your south-facing

windows during the day to allow sunlight to naturally

heat your home, and close them at night to reduce the

chill.

Clean or replace filters in your furnace, air condition-

er, and heat pump.

Close the damper when the fireplace is not being

used.

Keep the thermostat at the lowest comfortable setting

during winter.

Keep the thermostat at the highest comfortable set-

ting during the summer.

Make sure no obstacles, such as furniture, are block-

ing heating or cooling outlets.

Use the dishwsher, washing machine and dryer for

full loads.

Seal up the largest air leaks in your house.
