| MORE ENERGY SAVING IDEAS |
- Check your HVAC system's air filter every month. If the filter looks dirty, change it, but change the filter at least every three months. A dirty filter will slow air flow and make the system work harder to keep you cool-wasting energy.
- Run your ceiling fan to create a cool breeze. If you raise your thermostat by only two degrees and use your ceiling fan, you can lower cooling costs by up to 14 percent. Remember that ceiling fans cool you, not the room, so when you leave the room make sure to turn off the fan.
- Pull the curtains and shades closed before you leave your home to keep the sun's rays from overheating the interior of your home. If you can, move container trees and plants in front of sun-exposed windows to serve as shade.
- Add insulation to your attic to keep cool air in. If every American household did so, we'd collectively save more than $1.8 billion in yearly energy costs.

BE A SPEEDY CHEF
PUSH A BUTTON TO WASH YOUR DISHES
Program your thermostat to work around your family's summer schedule-set it a few degrees higher (such as 78 degrees) when no one is home, so your cooling system isn't cooling an empty house.
As much as 20 percent of the air moving through your home's duct system is lost due to leaks and poor connections. 
Toilets account for nearly 30 percent of residential indoor water consumption, and also happen to be a major source of wasted water due to leaks and/or inefficiency.
