Spring Energy Saving Tips

Spring is the perfect time to think ahead to the warmer weather and how you can prepare.

Following the tips below can help you reduce your energy consumption this spring;

• Switch the direction of your ceiling fan. In the winter, your ceiling fans should be rotating clockwise on low speed to distribute the rising warm air around the room. In the spring, the fan should turn counter-clockwise to force air down into the room to help cool its occupants.

• Clean off your refrigerator coils. As the weather warms and your pets start to shed, more hair will collect on the coils making the refrigerator work harder. A long-handled brush is perfect for cleaning coils on the bottom or back of the refrigerator.
