Energy saving tips..

Milder than normal temps in the Palm Springs area this summer have been a welcome change for our locals and the many tourists that have been enjoying golfing, swimming, hiking and entertaining. Even when the temps start to inch up, you can still keep your energy costs down with a smart and watchful eye. When it comes to your home’s thermostat… set it and forget it.

Try a setting of 81 degrees while you’re out and about, and 75 when you’re back home. Use your microwave exclusively if you can, and leave the oven off. Fill up your refrigerator with food so it will work more efficiently—the fridge won’t warm up quickly when you open the door. Avoid running dishwashers, and washers and dryers during peak hours from 4 to 6pm, and operate with full loads to conserve water and energy. Check and replace air conditioner filters, weather-stripping around windows and doors. Remember to unplug your computers, power chargers, etc. when not in use.

A power strip is an easy way to manage your electronic devices with a quick single switch to power everything on/off. Also, think about reducing the time your pool filter and cleaning sweep operates; adjust the timer to four of five hours of service during off-peak time. You can save a bunch and help conserve our precious resources with a quick household checklist of important action items.
