Where’s your energy going?
Learn what makes up your electric bill and track your use with SmartHub
Understanding what items use the most electricity is a great way to target your energy conservation efforts so you can try and save money on your bill. The biggest opportunity to save this time of year is on cooling. Set your thermostat to 78 degrees or higher, and bump it up another 3-5 degrees when you leave your home. Check your filters monthly, and have your HVAC serviced at least once per year.
