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%.
