Making just one small change each week can impact your energy bill.

Want to lower your energy bill? Take our 4-week challenge where small steps add up to big savings! When we all take small steps, it helps the whole cooperative save money and everybody wins!
WEEK 1: CHANGE OUT YOUR AIR FILTERS
air filter iconWhen your air filters are dirty, your air conditioning unit doesn’t push as much air through the filter and as a result has to run longer to keep your home cool. Go through your home and replace all of your filters with a clean one so your air conditioner doesn’t have to run as long to cool your home. We recommend replacing your air filters once a month.
 
WEEK 2: REPLACE YOUR LIGHT BULBS

WEEK 3: ADJUST YOUR THERMOSTAT

This will help you save on cooling costs while still keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. If you have a programmable or smart thermostat, it’ll be even easier to set a schedule and forget it! We recommend keeping your thermostat set at 78°F in the summer and 68°F in the winter.
 
WEEK 4: UNPLUG ELECTRONIC DEVICES THAT ARE NOT IN USE

For your final week of this energy-saving challenge, keep any electronics or appliances unplugged when they are not in use consider using smart power strips to save energy without the hassle of having to turn off each device.
