Energy Saving Tips
Outside your home
- Turn off any outdoor lights that are not needed for security.
- Eliminate outdoor circulation pumps for ponds.
- Evergreens are effective for blocking wind. Plant them
in a staggered or double line to the northwest of your
home. The U.S. Bureau of Statistics reports that a line
of evergreens can reduce heat loss and winter fuel bills
by up to 20%.
