Spring into Savings with These Energy Efficiency Tips

Embrace the fresh blooms and brighter days with energy efficiency tips that will lighten your load. Our spring guide is here to help you save energy and money, making your home as vibrant as the season itself. Here’s some tips on how to cultivate some serious savings:

Spring Cleaning Checklist

It’s time to get your spring cleaning groove on. Giving your appliances a deep clean helps them work better and saves you energy. Start by cleaning the coils on the bottom and back of your fridge—dust-free coils mean a cooler, more efficient fridge. Bonus tip: Don’t overstuff your fridge—proper air circulation makes it chill just right.

Shake Off the Dust

Give those heaters and light bulbs a good dusting (and don’t forget to clean lamp shades and glass covers). A clean bulb is a bright bulb, and dust-free heaters will warm your home more efficiently. Shine on and enjoy better performance.

Spring Is in the Air

Spring calls for fresh, clean air. Scrub those HRV and heat pump filters to boost airflow and efficiency. While you’re at it, vacuum or clear outdoor vents and units to keep them breathing easy. This little bit of TLC will save you energy—and maybe even a sneeze or two.

Spring Refresh

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your energy-saving habits.

These tips are good all year round:

Wash Clothes in Cold Water

Save over $175 a year on water heating costs. Your clothes get just as clean, and you keep the money where it belongs—in your pocket!

Take Shorter Showers

Cutting down your shower time can save $37 a year on water heating. More time to enjoy the morning and less for energy-hogging hot water.

Unplug Electronics When Not in Use

Some devices still use power when they’re off. Pull the plug and save around 3% on your electricity costs. Time to unwind unplugged and enjoy those spring blooms!

Switch to LED Lights

Making the switch to LED light bulbs will save you energy and money, and they last up to 15 years. They’re bright, efficient, and perfect for bringing a little sunshine indoors.
