We are all well aware that saving electricity is good for the environment but did you know that it is also good for your wallet? - Really! We at Courtney Bend want the best for our residents and would like to share some tips that may help your electric bill decrease:
Turn off unnecessary lighting/electronics
Change HVAC filters monthly
Always run your HVAC system fan on "AUTO". Running it on "ON" uses more electricity and can decrease your air conditioner's ability to remove moisture
Don't let the water run while you are brushing your teeth
Install low-flow shower heads
Limit shower length to 5-7 minutes
Use a cold water rinse for laundry
Clean your dryer's lent trap before each load
Rinse dirty dishes with cold water before putting them in the dishwasher
Use cold water for garbage disposal
Only run dishwasher when fully loaded
Use air-dry cycle instead of heat-dry cycle to dry dishes
