Spring Cleaning Energy Saving Tips

With the cold months of December, January and February behind us, March is that special month out of the year that should finally bring us some warmer temperatures. The first day of Spring is less than 3 weeks away, which is very exciting with this snow-filled winter we’ve been having.

One thing several people do around this time of year is clean their home as an annual “Spring Cleaning” tradition. Now, whether your Spring Cleaning session takes place all at once or gradually throughout the season, Nortek Environmental, Inc. is providing you with a few tricks and hints on how your home’s Spring Cleaning can help save you money on your next utility bill.

Spring Cleaning Energy Saving Tips

• Wash in Cold Water: Face it, when you’re cleaning your home, it is just natural to accumulate a bunch of laundry. When washing your clothes and linens, be sure to wash them in cold water. This will cause your hot water heater to not have to work as hard to heat extra water, saving you money on your utility bill. In fact, if you switch to using cold water throughout the entire year, you could save more than 60 dollars on an annual basis.
• Replace Faucets and Shower Heads: Excess water usage is one of the easiest ways to rack up costs on your utility bills. Consider switching out your shower heads and faucets with a low flow option to reduce the amount of water being used when using your showers and sinks.
• Open Your Windows: One of the best things about Spring time is that the weather is just comfortable enough outside that you can comfortably keep your windows open. When it reaches a desirable temperature outside, you can naturally maintain your home’s temperature without using your homes HVAC system, as well as air out your home.
