Affordable efficiency upgrades

These ener­gy-effi­cien­cy improve­ments can be imple­ment­ed quick­ly and require only a small invest­ment.

  • Install a smart ther­mo­stat to opti­mize sav­ings and com­fort. These advanced mod­els not only adjust tem­per­a­tures auto­mat­i­cal­ly but also pro­vide con­ve­nient fea­tures such as self-pro­gram­ming and remote con­trol.
  • Upgrade to LED light­ing. LEDs are more effi­cient, last longer and pro­vide bet­ter qual­i­ty light.
  • Seal gaps in win­dows and exte­ri­or doors with caulk or weath­er­strip­ping.
  • Plug elec­tri­cal devices into advanced pow­er strips or smart plugs, which auto­mat­i­cal­ly shut off pow­er to unused equip­ment.
  • Upgrade appli­ances to ENERGY STAR®-certified mod­els. ENERGY STAR prod­ucts use less ener­gy than stan­dard prod­ucts.

With these sim­ple tips, you’ll stay com­fort­able and enjoy some cool sav­ings all sum­mer long. Brought to you by our part­ners at Touch­stone Ener­gy.
