Wrap your water heater and hot water pipes with insulation to help keep heated water hot. Electric pumps are used to pump water either from wells or municipal systems. Cutting down on water waste cuts down on power waste. Always put a full load of clothes in the washer. Keep the dryer lint screen and exhaust hose clean.
Lint impedes the flow of air and lengthens drying time.
Don t overwash clothes. A 10-minute cycle is usually enough for even very soiled clothes. Vacuum or dust the back and bottom of the refrigerator regularly to keep the cooling coils free from dust. Cover all foods because they give off moisture, making your refrigerator use more energy. Set your refrigerator thermostat at 40 degrees and your freezer at 0 degrees.
