You can take proactive steps to make the most of home energy savings:

• The most effective way save is thermostat management. Heating/cooling account for a major portion of home energy use, so adjusting the thermostat to the lowest comfortable setting can help you save energy and money. (Remember to service your heating and cooling system annually and replace dirty filters as needed.)
• Reserve energy-intensive chores for off-peak times, such as early in the morning or later in the evening.
• Seal air leaks around any gaps. This will help your system work less and improve the overall comfort of your home.
