Ideas para maximizar el ahorro energético

Upgrade to LED Lighting and Use Natural Light

LED bulbs use up to 75% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. Switching to LED lighting is an easy way to cut down on energy costs while keeping your home well-lit.

Also, take advantage of daylight hours by opening curtains and letting in natural sunlight. This reduces the need for artificial lighting and can help warm your home naturally.

Schedule Your Temp Settings

To save on heating and cooling, set your smart thermostat to a schedule that minimizes energy use during on-peak hours. For winter, 68-70 degrees is comfortable when you’re home, and 65 degrees is sufficient when you’re out.

Save Dish Duty for the Evening

Save money and energy by operating your dishwasher on full loads and during off-peak times. The delay setting is perfect for running it overnight after dinner when rates are lower.

Get Smart Plugs and Strips

Modern devices, like phones and TVs, often draw power even when idle. Use a smart power strip to manage this wasted energy. A smart plug, controlled by your phone, allows you to easily turn off lamps, TVs, printers and game consoles when you’re not using them.

Make Laundry a Weekend Activity

Take advantage of weekend off-peak rates to do your laundry. Wash in cold or cool water to save energy (heating water uses a lot!), and fill your dryer, without overstuffing, because small loads use the same energy as large ones.

Charge Your Electric Vehicle Overnight

Most modern EVs and Level 2 home chargers come with built-in scheduling features. This allows you to plug in your vehicle when you get home, but program it to only begin charging when off-peak rates kick in, often while you’re sleeping.
