EFFICIENCY TIPS

  • Take short showers rather than baths.
  • Repair leaking pipes or dripping faucets immediately. (60 drops of water per minute can add $2-$3 to your monthly bill).
  • Use your bathroom exhaust fan to draw humid air out of the home to avoid moisture problems.
  • Set the thermostat on your water heater no higher than 140°F, preferrably at 120°F.
