Winter Energy-Saving Tips:

As the winter chill sets in, URC encourages you to focus on energy sustainability whenever possible!

• Optimize your home’s heating efficiency by sealing drafts and using programmable thermostats. 
• If using a portable heater, choose a thermostatically controlled heater when possible, as they avoid the energy waste of overheating a room. Remember to unplug electronics when idle!
• Prioritize mindful habits, like bundling up indoors and keeping your thermostat set to 68°F – 70°F when you’re awake. 
• In the spirit of the season, remember to switch off holiday lights when they aren’t in use! 

Let’s make winter a season of thoughtfulness, and commit to a more sustainable future, starting in our homes! For more tips, check out https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/fall-and-winter-energy-saving-tips.
