Reduce consumer energy bill

• Reduce Energy Waste with Smart Power Strips – Devices that continue to draw power when they appear to be turned off can cost up to $200 a year in wasted energy. Take a stand against this by regularly unplugging your devices, or allow a smart power clear to do the work for you. The features of advanced power strips make it easier than ever to ensure devices are fully powered down.
• Maintain Your Heating and Cooling System – The average household spends more than $2,000 a year on energy bills, with nearly half of that going to heating and cooling. A well-maintained system can save more. 
• Set Your Refrigerator for Optimum Cooling and Freshness – ENERGY STAR recommends a temperature range between 35° and 38°F to keep food fresh while not wasting energy
• Use the Cold Water Cycle in Your Washing Machine– Washing your clothes in cold water saves big on water heating costs. It also keeps colors from fading and clothes from shrinking.
• Save the Game Console for Gaming – If you stream content to your TV, use a dedicated set-top box, smart TV or streaming-capable Blu-ray player. Game consoles use too much energy than these alternatives.
• Heat Your Water to 120°F– At an average of $250 a year, water heating is the second-largest energy cost for most households. Don’t heat your water too much only to mix it with cold.
