Home Maintenance Checklist for Fall and Winter # 2

Extra steps you can take to save energy: 

• Install a programmable thermostat, so you can preset temperatures for different times of the day. 

• Insulate the water tank and first six feet of hot and cold water pipes connected to the unit.

• Lower the temperature of your water heater to 120°F (a 10-degree decrease can approach 5% savings). 

• Install rubber gaskets behind outlets and use switch plates on exterior walls. Install low-flow shower heads.
