Conserve – These are simple ways to really make a difference

Cutting electricity use during peak hours can reduce the risk of blackouts and cut the need for costly "peaking" power stations used only in times of high demand.

Steps you can take:

1. Replace all incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights (CFL). CFL’s last up to 10 to 15 times longer and are 75 percent more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

2. Unplug televisions, radios and other entertainment equipment, when not in use. Turn off or unplug computers at night, and use sleep mode as frequently as possible.

3. Insulate your water heater and any exposed hot water pipes.

4. Install a programmable thermostat.

5. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner.

6. Air dry your dishes, instead of using the dishwasher.

7. Hang clothes instead of using the dryer.

8 .Use a microwave instead of an electric oven.

9. Use fans to help the air-conditioner cool the home.

10. Turn the lights off when leaving a room.
