Happier holidays when<br />
you use energy wisely<br />
The holidays are here, and it’s tempting to take a break from<br />
energy efficiency to eat, drink and be merry! While it’s a season<br />
of wonder and joy, it’s also a time to use energy wisely and<br />
Team Up To Power Down. As you decorate your home and<br />
entertain your guests, consider these energy tips that will help<br />
save extra dollars for holiday gifts.<br />
Holiday Energy Tips<br />
Decorate with energy-efficient LED holiday lights.<br />
Use a timer to limit the hours of holiday lighting.<br />
Set your thermostat to the lowest comfortable setting.<br />
Wash full loads of laundry in cold water.<br />
Run full loads of dishes in the dishwasher.<br />
Encourage short showers instead of baths.<br />
Equally important, on the coldest days of winter, do what<br />
you can to avoid running appliances such as dishwashers and<br />
clothes dryers during early mornings (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.)<br />
and evenings (6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.) By shifting usage away<br />
from peak times, you help even out the demand for electricity,<br />
hold down the cost of power, and delay the next power plant<br />
investment.<br />
You might also consider purchasing gifts that promote energy<br />
efficiency. For example, look for entertainment systems and appliances<br />
that have the Energy Star® label. You can learn more<br />
ways to save energy and money on Facebook at Team Up To<br />
Power Down, and on the Web at TogetherWeSave.com and<br />
EnergyStar.com.
