Insights > 4 Ways to Save Energy This Evening
11/30/2021
The day is over. Now you can relax and enjoy some time with your family. How about giving your energy bill a break, too? With these tips, you can make your evenings more energy efficient.
Make dinner with energy efficiency in mind. Make sure the stovetop is clean. Cook at the lowest temperature setting possible. Cover pots and pans and correctly size them with the burner to avoid wasting energy. Use a microwave oven or slow cooker when you can; they use less energy than a conventional oven.
Scrape dishes instead of rinsing them before loading them into the dishwasher. If you must rinse, use cold water to avoid wasting energy for hot water. Wait until you have a full load before starting the dishwasher.
Use only the light you need. Turn off lights in empty rooms. If you're doing stuff - like reading, sewing or working from home - use a small desk lamp for task lighting. It puts the light right where you need it while using less energy than big overhead lights.
Ready to relax or binge watch your favorite show? How about dimming the lights? You'll save energy and enjoy a more cozy atmosphere.
With these simple measures, you and your energy bill can enjoy a relaxing evening tonight and all year long.
